notes
‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead’ caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk’s native Poland when it was published and is now available in this English translation for us all to enjoy. Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk tells the story of an eccentric woman in her sixties and her lost dogs. Unconventional and reclusive, believing in the stars, she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. This subversive, entertaining noir novel offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of marginalised people, animal rights, madness and predestination.
