A debut collection of darkly humorous, feminist speculative fiction from the Balkans, "sly, uncommon stories" by "a major talent" (Jeff VanderMeer, award-winning author of Hummingbird Salamander).Mars showcases a series of unique and twisted universes, where every character is tasked with making sense of their strange reality. One woman will be freed from purgatory once she writes the perfect book; another abides in a world devoid of physical contact. With wry prose and skewed humor, an emerging feminist writer explores twenty-first century promises of knowledge, freedom, and power."Bakic''s stories are a dark delight—a treasury of forbidden pleasures, moments of resistance and resilience, and terrifying possibilities." —Strange Horizons"At turns funny, surreal, and grounded in simple language but flung through twisted realities, the stories in this collection are provocative and utterly readable." —The Brooklyn Rail"Skillfully disorienting." —BUST"There''s an immediacy to Bakic''s offbeat worldview, sometimes strange and surreal, sometimes terrifying and upsetting, that pairs perfectly with the madness of the current political moment." —Locus Magazine"Bosnian writer Bakic''s debut teems with the oddball narratives of George Saunders, the eerie atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe, and the feminist intellect of Marge Piercyc. . . Told in a straightforward manner that transports speculative fiction into almost realist territory, Bakic''s collection imaginatively and strikingly examines sci-fi tropes from not only the point of view of women, but also from the voice of an effortlessly gifted writer whose future is much brighter than that of those depicted in her stories." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) - E-bokEngelska, 2023

The eleven stories in Sweetlust interweave feminist critique, intertextuality, and science fiction tropes in an irreverent portrait of our past, present, and future.
In a dystopian world with no men, women are “rehabilitated” at an erotic amusement park. Climate change has caused massive flooding and warming in the Balkans, where one programmer builds a time machine. And a devious reimagining of The Sorrows of Young Werther refocuses to center a sexually adventurous Charlotte.
Asja Bakić deploys the speculative and weird to playfully interrogate conversations around artificial intelligence, gender fluidity, and environmental degradation. Once again Bakić upends her characters’ convictions and identities—as she did in her acclaimed debut Mars—and infuses each disorienting universe with sly humor and off-kilter eroticism. Both visceral and otherworldly, Sweetlust takes apart human desire and fragility, repeatedly framing pleasure as both inviting and perilous.

Aus dem Kroatischen von Alida BremerIn "Mars" zeigt Asja Bakić eine Reihe einzigartiger Universen, in deren Mittelpunkt Frauen stehen, die vor die Aufgabe gestellt sind, der seltsamen Realität, die sie erleben, einen Sinn zu geben. Eine Frau wird von Tristessa und Zubrovka aus einer Art Vorhölle befreit, sobald sie eine Aufgabe erfüllt. Eine Meisterin der Täuschung wird mit jemandem konfrontiert, der ihr Geheimnis kennt. Eine Schriftstellerin soll einen Bestseller unter Pseudonym geschrieben haben, woran sie sich jedoch nicht erinnern kann. Abby scheint ihr Gedächtnis verloren zu haben, und doch weiß sie, dass mit ihrem misstrauischen Ehemann etwas nicht stimmt. Eine weitere muss auf dem Mars über ihr Verbrechen reflektieren, Autorin zu sein.Nicht nur das inhaltliche Konzept der Erzählungen ist beeindruckend, sondern auch die Methode: Gekonnt verwebt sie in das klassische Erzählmuster Elemente aus der Genre-Literatur – Horror, Science-Fiction und Fantasy. Entstanden sind so spannende, oft humorvolle Geschichten, die emanzipierend sind, ohne in politische Agitation zu verfallen. Publishers Weekly kürte die amerikanische Ausgabe von "Mars" 2019 zu einem der 25 besten Büchern des Jahres in den USA der Kategorie Belletristik.Die Herausgabe dieses Werks wurde durch das Literaturnetzwerk TRADUKI gefördert. - Inbunden, Tyska, 2025

Hrvatska je zemlja u kojoj su kulturne polemike sve rjeđa pojava. No spisateljica Asja Bakić u knjizi eseja Dođi, sjest ću ti na lice svejedno britko i bez autocenzure komentira aktualne društvene događaje. Žestoko se zalažući za slobodu govora, autorica se obračunava sa svim oblicima diskriminacije, osobito onima koji se tiču rodne neravnopravnosti i transfobije. Krećući od feminizma kao široko shvaćenog humanističkog projekta, autorica kritizira propast socijalno uređene države, protuustavne napade na zdravlje žena te na javno zdravstvo općenito. Ovim polemičkim tekstovima ona strastveno brani ateističke i humanističke vrijednosti koje su, zajedno sa slobodom izražavanja i kulturom dijaloga, sve više na marginama naše svakodnevice. Eseji Asje Bakić zazivaju ideju zajedništva te propagiraju empatiju prema ljudima s kojima javni prostor svakodnevno dijelimo. Spisateljica pritom ne štedi one društvene pojave koje narušavaju zajedništvo, ne štedi pojedince i grupe koji šire govor mržnje. Naprotiv, imenuje ih i javno proziva. Piše iz eksplicitno feminističke perspektive koja čak ni u 21. stoljeću u Hrvatskoj nije dobrodošla iako nam je, s obzirom na nasilje nad ženama, nejednakost u plaćama i brojne druge nepravde prema ženama u društvu, još uvijek itekako potrebna. Bez dlake na jeziku, Asja Bakić se u knjizi Dođi, sjest ću ti na lice hvata ukoštac s temama koje ostatak zajednice najčešće izbjegava.
