With Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker
International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a
subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village,
Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the
events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is
reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people, she's
unconventional, believing in the stars, and she is fond of the
poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is
taken.When members of a local hunting club are found murdered,
Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a
conventional crime story, this existential thriller by 'one of
Europe's major humanist writers' (Guardian) offers
thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice
against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of
traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a
genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.
