Appearing on an American talk show, Lipa revealed her admiration for Tokarczuk’s novel ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead,’ calling it “fantastic” and a must-read.
“It’s kind of a crime novel, but it has a bit of philosophy and astrology peppered into it,” she said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“The author is actually a Nobel prize laureate for literature... reading this book will really show you why.”
The singer’s literary enthusiasm has shone through in her Instagram and Service95 newsletter, a curated space for cultural recommendations.
During the show, Colbert held up the Tokarczuk novel for viewers, sparking a lively discussion about the book’s themes.
In April, Lipa recommended ‘Swimming in the Dark’ by Polish author Tomasz Jędrowski, naming it the book of the month for her book club.
