Avital4 - The Monday Morning Memo

“For several days I missed him very much – his toiletries in the bathroom and even the empty teacups he left all over the house. He called every day. Then less often, every other day or so. He sounded as if he were living in another dimension, in a spirit world in the north of the country, where the trees are thousands of years old, and large Animals move among them at a slowed-down pace, outside time. I calmly watched as the image of Boros Sznajder, entomologist and taphonomist, faded and evaporated, until all that was left of him was a little gray pigtail hanging in midair, ridiculous.”

- Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 176, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
