Janina narrates Tokarczuk’s ( Flights, 2018) latest creation to appear in English. It’s rural, and remote, and most of the other inhabitants are part-time city-dwellers who only show up in the summer, when the weather is more temperate. They’re having trouble getting hold of the police, and, as Oddball points out, “He’ll be stiff as a board before they get here.” Janina and Oddball-and Big Foot, up till now-live in an out-of-the-way Polish village on the Czech border.
When her neighbor Big Foot turns up dead one night, Janina Duszejko and another neighbor, Oddball, rush to his house to lay out the body and properly dress him. A series of deaths mystifies a small Polish village.
