Blake drive your plow5/18/2023 She has been watching the animals with whom the community shares their isolated, rural home, and she believes they are acting strangely…Įngaged in fierce resistance against the injustices around her, Janina refuses to be a prisoner of society and gender. Men from the local hunting club are dying in mysterious circumstances and Janina Duszejko – an eccentric older local woman, environmentalist, devoted astrologer and enthusiastic translator of William Blake – has her suspicions. The story begins in the depths of winter in a small community on a remote Polish mountainside. Based on Nobel Prize winning author Olga Tokarczuk’s novel of the same name, the darkly comic, anarchic noir caused a seismic reaction in Tokarczuk’s native Poland due to its defiant attack on authoritarian structures, with right-wing press branding the writer an ‘eco-terrorist’ and national traitor.
