About the book: 2019 / International Booker winner Olga Tokarczuk collects fantasies. Like a syringe, she injects the inexplicable, strange, unusual into our gray everyday life. Troubles from the past and an alternative present defy ordinary logic. Each story is a mini-masterpiece in the spirit of modern Gothic. “Outlandish Stories” is a collection of bizarre stories, where each story is a window into the other world.
