![]() ![]() ![]() A marvelously weird and fablelike mystery. Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness, justice and tradition, autonomy and fate. Drive Your Plow is exhilarating in a way that feels fierce and private, almost inarticulable it’s one of the most existentially refreshing novels I’ve read in a long time. Part murder mystery, part fairy tale, Drive Your Plow is a thrilling philosophical examination of the ways in which some living creatures are privileged above others. A winding, imaginative, genre-defying story. **This Great Books class will be held virtually over Zoom**įeaturing Eliza Rose, Assistant Professor of Central European Studies ![]()
