Book Review - Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tocarczuk

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once in a while one comes across a book from which a character comes to life and decides to reside in one’s mind for a long time. For example, in my case, Bertie Wooster, Yossarian, Dagny Taggart, Randle McMurphy (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) rattle around within my being. They have now been joined by Mrs Janina Duszejko along with her Animals, astrology charts and her trusty Suzuki Samurai.
This is a book difficult to classify – it is hilarious, poignant, deeply philosophical. It redefines the borders between sanity and madness, ethical and immoral, veganism and a meat-based diet.
A treat to read, nonetheless.
