Welcome to Litsy!

This book is Nobel prize winner and it‘s incredible !

This is a collection of short stories and the title “Bizarre Stories“ does hit the spot. Well, we're talking about Olga Tokarczuk after all. Yes, those texts are all bizarre in their own ways, often they're even pretty disturbing. The whole book tends to have some Sci-Fi elements, since Tokarczuk is dealing with the questions of where our society is headed and what we're making out of it. ⬇

My top three books from this strange year: short story collection by O. Tokarczuk - Bizarne zgodbe (I can‘t find the English translation); controversial crime/mystery story by R. Galbraith - Troubled Blood; and rich (in every sense) historical novel by H.Mantel - The Mirror & the Light.
Happy reading in the new year 🥂🍾

A collection of ten short stories set in different time periods, thematically very diverse, but with one thing in common - the main characters are sensitive observers of the world around them. The stories are elegant, thoughtful and Olga Tokarczuk is undoubtedly my favorite writer (at least for now). Pure perfection in the form of short stories. English translation of the title could be Bizarre stories.
