Olga Nawoja Tokarczuk おるが・とかるちゅく Winner

A formally experimental novel made of fragments about travel, movement, the body, anatomy, and traces of the dead. Stories, essays, and anecdotes echo one another, revealing both the unease and the freedom of a human existence that refuses to stay fixed in one place.

Fragments of moving bodies and memories illuminate travel itself as a form of life.
