Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga TokarczukApril 22, 2019
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is the arresting if the not jolly title of Olga Tokarczuk’s novel about an old woman. Janina Duszejko lives alone remotely in woods in rural Poland. She used to live with two dogs but they disappeared. She suspects local hunters shot them. This is where the narrative begins and where it ends. I’m not going to say anything about more about the plot as I highly recommend this novel to you.… Read More
