The global music icon focused her discussion with the Nobel Prize-winning author on the celebrated novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, whose title is a quote from William Blake’s poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
The book was selected as Dua’s January reading recommendation for the club. Service95 describes the novel as “a darkly humorous and philosophical crime novel that follows an eccentric, reclusive woman in a remote Polish village as she investigates a series of mysterious deaths.”
The conversation delved into topics such as the ethical dimensions of animal rights, the issue of hunting, which Tokarczuk argued is no longer necessary for humanity, and the interpretive craft of astrology as an art form.
Dua Lipa revealed that while she doesn’t use a therapist, she is in regular contact with an astrologer, adding that the themes explored in Tokarczuk’s novel, particularly through its protagonist, were “absolutely fascinating.”
The full discussion between the globally renowned singer and the Polish Nobel laureate is available on YouTube.
