From
that Olga Tokarczuk book: "There are
dogs on leads,
monkeys in
chains, much-loved
parrots in silver-plated cages." Now, when you have that many monkeys and that many dogs,
it seems inevitable that
one of the monkeys will ride one of the dogs. Does Tokarczuk make such an interaction explicit? I regret to say she does not. Or perhaps "regret" is the wrong word, given
the "blog's" famously complicated feelings about monkeys riding dogs.
