      A Pole here, this list is not a good one.

      I read a plenty of polish books, here's my recommendations:

      - IMHO the best book of the recent Polish Nobel Prize winner (Olga Tokarczuk) is "Flights" and "Primeval and Other Times". The "Drive your plow.." is one of the worst really. It's because of its pro-ecologic and feminism topics which make it popular.

      - The author, that HN would definitely like is Jacek Dukaj. Not many of his books were translated, unfortunately. Look forward especially to the "Ice": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_(Dukaj_novel)

      - My favourite polish fiction author is Wiesław Myśliwski: https://www.amazon.com/Stone-Upon-Wieslaw-Mysliwski-ebook/dp... I doubt whether you will enjoy it, his books are about dying world of polish countryside.

      "Ice" by Jacek Dukaj

      Every time I read a novel written by Dukaj I start feeling smarter. The ideas presented by characters are always worth considering and eye-opening.
