******************

The composite love novel: They All Ate Sushi has the anatomy of a sushi, being both literarily and metaphorically composed of various ingredients. Just as the ingredients of a sushi are rolled up, the main heroes of this novel are also rolled up in their own separate love stories. When unrolled, they form an even bigger final sushi – one three-layered story with a wrapper: that of Sara and Juan Cruz, Jana and Lovro, Diana and Juan, with Laura and the anonymous man wrapping them all up. Despite the three sushis having different ingredients – these are expressed in the novel as the differing circumstances of the heroes – the end taste is the same. All are cursed by one and the same – an expiration date.

Sara and Juan Cruz, Jana and Lovro, Diana and Juan, and even Laura and the anonymous man all ate sushi. They ate it at various places, in trendy restaurants and bohemian cafés, at street stands and fancy hotel bistros. But no matter where they ate it, it always left them with a bitter aftertaste. What was lacking in the sushi that made it inedible in the memory of all involved? Laura never found the answer while the anonymous man switched from sushi to teriyaki.

The novel They All Ate Sushi rolls and unrolls as well as intertwines love stories of three couples that seem to be one and the same with only the circumstances being different. It is the story of Sara and Juan Cruz who, coming from different parts of the world happen to meet in New York City and fall in love. However, upon returning to their home countries and trying to preserve their relationship, they find that their love is possible only and as long as it is impossible. They try to break this circle of impossibility but instead find themselves in a spiral, chasing each other and at the same time being chased by each other’s shadow. However, their story is also the story of tricky disorders that make their lives doubly complicated. The combination of Sara’s eating disorder and Juan Cruz’s once bitten twice shy syndrome makes Sara and Juan Cruz’s relationship all the more difficult.

A similar scenario unfolds in the completely different relationship between Jana and Lovro. They find themselves caught in a paradox together with their virtual selves – Velvetine and Peregrino. They both love and at the same time cheat on each other – with each other! Jana in the role of Velvetine in her internet relationship with Peregrino, and Lovro in the role of Peregrino in his internet relationship with Velvetine. However, they cannot find their way out of this situation because they are not able to accept the fact that their cheating on one another discloses their love for each other. Instead of returning to their initial circle of love they now enter a spiral full of guilt, reproaches and jealousy.

Ko jih odvijemo, se zvijejo vsi skupaj v velik končni suši – trislojno zgodbo z ovojem: zgodbo Sare in Juan Cruza, Jane in Lovra, Diane in Juana, v ovoju zgodbe Laure in anonimnega moškega. Kljub temu, da so vsi trije sušiji zviti iz različnih sestavin, ki v romanu predstavljajo različne okoliščine junakov, je končni okus, ki ga ponujajo, enak. Vsi so obsojeni na isto – na omejen rok trajanja. Eva Petrič, rojena 1983 v Kranju, diplomirala 2005 na Dunaju iz psihologije in vizualne umetnosti.
