What do we think of Nobel prize winner Olga Tokarczuk's work?

Gdzie jest Olga Tokarczuk?

"Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead" was fantastic. Really enjoyed it.
I have The Book of Jacob but haven't started it yet.

Holy retard

She has turds growing out of her head.

Why do these people want to make every place on Earth look the same? Even from an aesthetic standpoint, I just don't understand mass migration enjoyers.
>>
>>25283931
What's the difference between the Polish Nobel Prize and the regular one?
>>
>>25283953
Possibly, because she had a jewkrainian grandmother. Her father was a card carrying communist. And yet, her most well received work was about jews and demonised the catholics even though being, ostensibly about the jews. She is, of course, an ex-catholic atheist. She also became a psych and volunteered in an adolescent's asylum but said she was more neurotic than the patients.

>everyone speaks the same language
Literally what fucking planet do you live on. There are large swaths of Africa where you can walk 20 minutes from 1 village to another and find that suddenly everyone is speaking a completely different and unintelligible language.

She’s a world renowned and acclaimed writer who has been bestowed the highest official honor in her field. Meanwhile, you’re a mentally ill racist who posts on an imageboard created for hentai fans. One of you is certainly a degenerate but I don’t think it’s her.

>>25284035
He's right, it's her.

>>25283931
Read Books of Jacob and Drive your Plow and had a great time with both. She's a very funny writer.

What would she prefer? That her country be overrun with immigrants of all ethnicities, each community speaking a different language? If that's what she wants, there are plenty of places in world like that.
>>
>>25283931
polish people... in poland?! please, say it isn't so...
>>
Having to spend time around my wife's family, I can understand why you wouldn't want to live in a country with so many polish people, even if it was Poland.
>>
>>25283931
Is a shame that now the asylums are closed.
>>
Nobody cares what author's think anymore. Reading is a dead or dying, niche hobby pursued by a minority of middle-aged, middle-class women.
I don't think there's a more inconsequential cultural figure in the west than a fucking novelist.

Genre fiction can still be popular. But it's true that the most celebrated contemporary litfic has fewer real readers than the average cultivation webnovel or billionaire vampire romantasy.

the "..." is doing a lot of heavy lifting

Its because they're women. I wrote an essay on it, maybe two.

yes
>One of you is certainly a degenerate but I don’t think it’s her.
you are wrong
did your father suck your mother's breast more often than you? is that why you are like this?
>>
>>25283961
Hardly counts as self-hating when she's jewish.
>>25283977
No, these people are perfectly capable of that and know exactly what they are doing. Once shit goes down they will just move onto a new host to leech off, just as they've done for the last six thousand years.
>>
>>25284120
Yeah, poets.
>>25284124
But "philosophers" or social scientists are also semi-universally acknowledged in the west to be little more than the mouthpieces of whatever government or NGO is funding them nowadays, so, perhaps they tie with poets in terms of societally acknowledged irrelevancy.

>>25284141
Genre fiction always had more readers than literary fiction. It's just that we are well past the zeitgeist where novelists dropping a work every couple years was a big societal event, like a new Rabbit dropping from Updike every decade during the cold war in America. The closest we came to this returning was when Houellebecq's Submission dropped the day after the Charlie Hebdo incident. But that was just a random coincidence rather than a return of the novelist to the foreground of culture.

Yet another amazing example of a thread where everyone including the OP demonstrates they hate the idea of reading books

No I didn't. I said I thought "Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead" was "fantastic" and that I'm looking forward to reading "the books of Jacob"

This.

It's sad, but irrelevance is way better than the current shit that's being output being regarded as art.

>she had a jewkrainian grandmother.
That's 100% Jewish.
>>
>>25283931
Why have the libs not cancelled her for having dreads? That's appropriation of nigger culture!
>>
I enjoyed Drive Your Plow well enough, but it doesn't really hold up to any scrutiny. At least it's something different.
I thought "what a good job she did inventing this character" and then learned about the author and realized the narrator was literally just her and it became a lot less impressive.

Women and their desire to aggressively destroy the world confuse me.

Getting rid of them and replacing them with artificial wombs is the only solution
>>

The shit this woman says publicly honestly leads me to believe someone else writes her books. How can her work be so interesting, and yet everytime she opens her mouth its like listening to Elizabeth Warren?

She is not wrong. Maybe it's not so bad in some quaint village in the English coutryside but in places like Poland people are still backward and very tribal, if a person (of same race/ethnicity) is more indvidualistic or an independant thinker and does not behave or think like a majority then they will be exluded or even actively discriminated against, they might even get physically assaulted for it.

Very well said, except "*in" is grammatically proper.
