If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh.

"Гъсто населена с образи, сетивна вселена, в която най-важната дума е ние. Не просто човекът срещу космоса, човекът срещу смъртта - а ние, нашата свързаност, която упорства, не се отказва, държи се здраво от двете страни на големия предел. Дъските дъхтят на вино, смъртта мирише на майка, от облаците се подават ръце - утешителен свят, в който можеш да вярваш. Едновременно хтоничен и милостив, свят, който няма нужда да идеализира, за да продължи да обича." Зорница Христова "Това е книга за същностните основания на човека и отстоянията му. Книга, чиито особени стихотворения реквиеми оголват до внезапната му ... |

"Писането на Йорданка Белева поставя в своя център белезите - белезите от миналото, които ни задължават да го помним; белезите от настоящето, които ни помагат да го живеем, и белезите от бъдещето, които знаем, че ще получим. Така тя като автор ни въздейства три в едно: да помним, да издържаме, да знаем." Митко Новков "Харесвам прозата на Йорданка Белева заради тази невероятна, доведена до съвършенство сложност на простотата, харесвам езика, на който са написани нейните разкази и с който тя си "играе", както неуморните и винаги различни вълни си играят с неуморния и винаги еднакъв бряг." ... |
