Olga Tokarczuk recommends
Time Shelter (2022)
Georgi Gospodinov
"The most exquisite kind of literature... I've put it on a special shelf in my library that I reserve for books that can never be fully exhausted - books that demand to be revisited every now and then."
I'd Like to Say Sorry, But There's No One to Say Sorry to (2022)
Mikolaj Grynberg
"These small, searing prose pieces are moving and unsettling at the same time. If the diagnosis they present is right, then we have a great problem in Poland."
