Olga Tokarczuk?s Novels Against Nationalism
In the face of the Polish government?s rightist 
dogma, the country?s preëminent writer explores 
its history of ethnic intermingling.

Ruth Franklin, author of the Tokarcsuk profile, 
seems unable to avoid diminishing individuals by 
lumping them into thoughtless, demeaning categories of the vaporous market.

"Tokarczuk is based in Wrocaw, in the southwest 
of Poland. She was in Warsaw not only for the 
book fair but also for a literary festival, 
called Apostrof, which took place at the 
Universal Theatre, a headquarters of sorts for 
intellectuals and artists. This year Tokarczuk 
was a guest curator, organizing a weeklong series 
of symposiums featuring leading Polish writers and intellectuals."
