![]() ![]() How do I know? Well, my Polish isn’t all that good, so I certainly wasn’t in any position to listen in, but luckily the text of the speech, in three languages, has been uploaded to the Nobel web-site, with Jennifer Croft and Antonia Lloyd-Jones (appropriately) having worked on the English-language version – my thanks go out to both of them □ ![]() Tokarczuk gave her Nobel lecture earlier this week, and her talk, entitled ‘The Tender Narrator’, was typically intriguing, absorbing and generous. Wait a minute – I think I’m forgetting someone here… It might not be fiction, but it’s interesting all the same, and thanks to those nice people at the Nobel Foundation and the Swedish Academy, it’s also available for everyone to read in English. As much as I’d like to pretend that my planning skills really are that impressive, the timing of this week’s reviews of Olga Tokarczuk’s House of Day, House of Night and Primeval and Other Times had nothing to do with the writer receiving her Nobel Prize in Literature – I was just busy with other things in November… Nevertheless, having started an impromptu Tokarczuk week on the blog, it only seems right that I continue it, and today’s post will cap off my reviews of her fiction with a look at another text that appeared more recently. ![]()
