About Olga Tokarczuk

  • Nobel Prize in Literature, 2018
  • International Booker Prize, 2018
  • Nike Award (twice)

A trained psychologist from Sulechów, Poland, Tokarczuk writes what she calls the 'constellation novel', books built from fragments the reader assembles. Her work has been fiercely debated at home and celebrated abroad, and her Nobel citation praised an imagination that 'represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life'.
