Olga Tokarczuk

Olga Tokarchuk is the fifth Polish-language writer to win the Nobel Prize. Among Olga's compatriots-laureates was a lady - the poet Wislava Szymborska. But the International Booker Prize Tokarczuk was awarded the first Pole.

The writer was born in the winter of 1962 in western Poland, in the town of Sulechow, in which 17 thousand people now live. The surname of the Nobel laureate is explained by Ukrainian roots - Olga's paternal grandmother came from Little Russia.

The girl's parents taught at the rural folk university. The family lived in a small old castle left over from the Germans - the small homeland of Tokarczuk repeatedly passed from the Poles of Germany.

In 1979 Olga's stories "My friends" and "Christmas kills the fish" was published by the magazine for youth "Straight". The girl was hiding under the pseudonym Natasha Borodina.

In the early 80s of the 20th century Tokarczuk studied at the University of Warsaw as a psychologist and worked as a volunteer in clinics for mentally ill people. After receiving her diploma, the woman worked as a psychotherapist in Walzbich (the city formerly known as Waldenburg). However, after finding that more patients were worried, Olga left her medical practice and focused on writing.

Although in her youth the writer was fond of poetry (in 1989 Olga's book of poems Miasta w lustrac was published), prose works predominate in Tokarchuk's further bibliography. Her novels often resemble storybooks, essays, and plot sketches. These are the books "House of the day, house of the night" "The last stories" and "Runners".

Tokarczuk values ​​small prose forms and is the inspiration behind the International Storytelling Festival. In the essay book Doll and the Pearl, Olga reinterprets the works of the iconic Polish author Boleslav Prus.

Tokarchuk combines rich literary language and captivating stories. Lead Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is a detective novel in which male hunters are killed, and the police ignore the village teacher's version of the idea that the victims' hobbies are the cause of their death. The main character of the work "E.E." Erna Elzner, living at the beginning of the 20th century, has the gift of a medium.

The Book of Jacob is based on the biography of the 18th century Jewish Messiah, Jacob Frank. In the novel "The Way of the Book People" the heroes looking for a mysterious tome fall in love with each other.

The book "Anna Ying in the Tombs of the World" was written in the framework of the international literary project "Myths". Tokarczuk combined cyberpunk aesthetics with Sumerian lore.

Little is known about the writer's personal life. Olga is married, in 1986 the woman had a son. Tokarczuk's views are close to feminist and vegan. Her favorite writers are Thomas Mann, Zbigniew Krushinski, Magdalena Tully and Elias Canetti.

A woman loves and knows how to sing, every morning she starts with a cup of coffee. Tokarchuk teaches courses on storytelling. In all the photos, the writer appears with dreadlocks.

In 2019, the Eksmo publishing house published a translation into Russian of the collection of short stories “Outlandish Stories”, created by Tokarchuk in 2018.

Since that year the committee for awarding the Nobel Prize in Literature was paralyzed by a sex-corruption scandal, in the next year, two writers were given the highest literary award: Tokarchuk for 2018, and Austrian Peter Handke for 2019.

“There are two truths - what is, and what it seems to us” (“Recent stories”) “Nothing heals melancholy as vigorous activity” (“Pravek and other times”) “The sin told is forgiven. The life told is not lived in vain. He who has not learned to speak is forever trapped "(" The Runners ")
