Enchanting, unsettling, and wholly original, Flights is a master storyteller's answer. Where are you from? Where are you coming in from? Where are you going? we call to the traveler. Through these brilliantly imagined characters and stories, interwoven with haunting, playful, and revelatory meditations, Flights explores what it means to be a traveler, a wanderer, a body in motion not only through space but through time. Olga Tokarczuk The Nobel laureate on her new novel Rhian Sasseen and Jennifer Croft Olga Tokarczuk approaches fiction in a way uniquely suited to the fragmentation of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, collapsing boundaries among time periods and countries. A woman must return to her native Poland in order to poison her terminally ill high school sweetheart, and a young man slowly descends into madness when his wife and child mysteriously vanish during a vacation and just as suddenly reappear. Chopin's heart is carried back to Warsaw in secret by his adoring sister. From the incomparably original Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk, Flights interweaves reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. Olga Nawoja Tokarczuk 4, född 29 januari 1962 i Sulechów, Polen, är en polsk författare och psykolog.
