The Lost Soul

The art is amazing. The book author won a Nobel prize in literature 2018, the book was awarded the Fiction Bologna Ragazzi Prize the same year.

I guess I struggle with Tokarczuk's portrayal of souls; I don't like the idea that ‘they were born at the dawn of time', that they're seemingly easily separated from bodies, and that the soul that is reunited looks like a(n arbitrary?) child.

But I like that it made me slow down, enjoy fantastic art, and have a think.
