“Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of The Dead" (post 1) by Olga Tokarczuk: Words from an Alternate Personality

“No one was listening to me, but I went on with my speech. I couldn’t stop, because the words were coming to me from somewhere of their own accord…"(1, p. 105).

Comment: Words can seem to come to a person “of their own accord” only if there is something in their head with a mind of its own, which is the essence of an alternate personality.
