PL Empuzjon Olgi Tokarczuk to powieść osadzona w uzdrowisku w górach na Dolnym Śląsku, parodystycznie nawiązująca do “Czarodziejskiej góry” Tomasza Manna. Głównym wątkiem jest pobyt studenta Mieczysława Wojnicza, który przybywa do uzdrowiska, by leczyć . Fabuła koncentruje się na rozmowach pensjonariuszy o sprawach światopoglądowych, intrygach i stopniowo odkrywanej mrocznej tajemnicy związanej z tragicznymi wydarzeniami w okolicy.
