Praise for House of Day, House of Night
This is a constellation novel: a mosaic of stories, myths, gossip, anecdotes, philosophical reveries and even recipes. Together, these fragments form a history of the region. . . . . Alongside history and memory, Tokarczuk explores identity, transformation, and the meaning of home. Her meditations range from the banal to the surreal: playful riffs on mushrooms are interwoven with weighty existential questions. . . Lloyd-Jones s translation eloquently captures these various registers. The Financial Times
A poetic, rich work of art that ebbs and flows like a stream. . . Moments of absurdity. . . mix in with moments of rich emotion, all topped with a swirl of folklore-like magic. A treat for fans of Tokarczuk and literary fiction. Booklist, STARRED
As a whole, the book is at once simpler and, at the same time, infinitely more complex than it at first appears. An exquisitely constructed, mercurial gem from the Nobel prizewinner. Kirkus, STARRED
Vivid What emerges from this cornucopia of curiosities is a rich and pulsating view into life itself, which the narrator views as beautiful despite the terrible things other people say about it. It s a marvel. Publishers Weekly, STARRED
