Praise for The Books of Jacob:
“Just as awe-inspiring as the Nobel judges claimed.” —The Washington Post
“Sophisticated and ribald and briming with folk wit. . . . The comedy in this novel blends, as it does in life, with genuine tragedy.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“Tokarczuk concocts a potent blend of horror tropes and literary references (Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann) as she realizes the potential of her tale’s uncommon setting—a community set apart by the omnipresence of sickness and death, where the rules of civilized propriety give way to more fantastic possibilities. Readers will find much to savor.” –Publishers Weekly
Praise for Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead:
“A brlliant literary murder mystery.” —Chicago Tribune
“A winding, imaginative, genre-defying story. Part murder mystery, part fairy tale. . . a thrilling philosophical examination of the ways in which some living creatures are privileged above others.” —Time
Praise for Flights:
“A revelation. . . In this risky, restlessly mercurial book, Tokarczuk has found a way of turning. . . philosophy into writing that doesn't just take flight but soars.” —NPR's Fresh Air
