Tokarczuks newest book is an artfully crafted story, based on Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. But one doesn't have to know that book to read Empusion. What you should prepare for if you identify as female is a lot of misogyny. I was surprised and a little shocked to read where Tokarczuk got the ideas and sentences from she lets her characters say: so many famous poets, writers, philosophers...
