House of day, house of night
Tokarczuk, Olga, 1962-2025
Book
A woman settles in a remote Polish village. It has few inhabitants, now, but it teems with the stories of its living and its dead. There's the drunk Marek Marek, who discovers that he shares his body with a bird, and Franz Frost, whose nightmares come to him from a newly discovered planet. There's the man whose death--with one leg on the Polish side, one on the Czech--was an international incident. And there are the Germans who still haunt a region that not long ago they called their own. From the founding of the town to the lives of its saints, these shards piece together not only a history but a cosmology. -- back cover.
