Six months ago, I began a Slow Read of Olga Tokarczuk, The Books of Jacob.

A modern masterpiece of Polish and world literature by the 2018 Nobel Prize winner.

If you missed this whole fantastic journey, you can relive it now here on Notes.

The story begins on page 965, one of many curiosities about this historical novel about the claimant messiah, Jacob Frank, and so much more.

The story begins with a woman, Yente. Or does it begin the story of the story?

Read on in the first weekly chapter post of the Slow Read of Olga Tokarczuk, The Books of Jacob.
