Reading with Comrades discussion

I recently finished reading Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead by Olga Tokarczuk. I utterly loved it. Long passages on animal rights that really indulged my vegan-ness. An older feminist character who is an outsider and considered a crank because of her beliefs.

Described as an eco-feminist, I know Tokarczuk is considered a controversial figure in Poland due to her outspoken political views.

Just wondered if anyone else had enjoyed this book too?

Never read the book but the inclusion of discussions on animal rights in a fiction novel is intriguing and not something you ever see really

Absolutely! I didn't know a lot about the novel before going into it so I was really surprised. It made for a great literary device pitting the protagonist (and any sympathetic readers) against the hunters in the book.

Hey thanks for the recommendation Steph! I hadn’t heard of Tokarczuk before reading your post, and now I’m really interested in reader her recently translated “The Books of Jacob” (which apparently is regarded as her masterwork). I love historical fiction and it’s a great way of breaking up the super dry non-fiction I usually stick to.
