Abstract
The paper sheds light on the psychology of the protagonist of the novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature, as a high-functioning autistic. The prism of autism explains the intricacies of this extraordinary character, providing a coherent framework for understanding her and the characteristics of the narrative itself, as it is narrated by the protagonist. At the same time, the novel provides us with an extraordinary inner portrait of an autistic psyche that may enrich our understanding of the autistic consciousness.
