With Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel.
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..
When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation.
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.
In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs.
