The Polish Nobel Prize winner is Natalie Portman’s guest

On Tuesday, January 10, the popular actress shared an interview with the Polish Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk on her profile. In the video description, she wrote:

It was a great honor to talk to Olga Tokarczuk, author of our September selection and 2018 Nobel Prize winner. I love our discussion of how humans are naturally connected to trees, rivers and animals. And I’m still very impressed that Olga wrote “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead” while working on “The Books of Jacob” in parallel!

The women talked about how Tokarczuk wrote two novels at the same time. It’s about “The Books of Jacob”, which required a lot of historical research from the author, and “Drive your plow over the bones of the dead”. The Nobel Prize winner stated that she could not imagine a similar style of work now. “It was a kind of schizophrenia,” she admitted.

The writer also revealed that the creation of the character of Janina Duszejko in the second position was influenced by the lack of representation of mature women in the broadly understood pop culture. At the end of the conversation, she also mentioned the sentiment she has for the writer William Blake. She said that it was influenced by her friendship with three of the four Polish translators of the poet’s works, who lived in Podkarpacie in the 1980s. “I’ve always felt Blake was close to my heart,” she said.
