A large European airport, a crowd of passengers, each carrying their own personal story in their hand luggage. Occasionally they bump shoulders and their paths cross for a moment. A woman living in her partner’s shadow, a software misfit with a soft spot for Kerouac, a daughter on her journey…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her new book, Bellov\u00e1 skillfully weaves together stories that are both ordinary and remarkable, showing that life is like a transit zone, where a chance encounter with someone else’s destiny can redirect ours elsewhere. Or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While waiting in the transfer at Zurich airport, I saw someone pulling a wedding ring out of his pocket and putting it in his hand. I wondered what the story was behind it . So I wrote down four.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Bianca Bellov\u00e1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is possible to write anew about eternal themes: about the fact that we do not know how to handle our lives well, that we do not always manage to steer in the direction that seems to a distant observer to be the only meaningful one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellov\u00e1 has made four stranded people clinging to the fact that their plane isn\u2019t flying. And it offers a chance to ponder what all in their lives is going wrong more than flight schedules.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA transfer is not just matter of an airport terminal. A transfer is also a handover. A handover of unprocessed, displaced experiences and themes. A handover to the one who listens. The therapeutic line of the narrative is obvious in all four cases. The characters are getting to know themselves, reflecting on their existence in the here and now, stepping out of the shadows. They expose their broken histories to the reader.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
