Flights, a novel interweaves reflections on travel with an in depth exploration of human body, life, death, motion and migration. Olga Tokarczuk is an incomparably original Polish writer. This book is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, winner of the Man Booker International Prize and National Book Award finalist for translated literature. In Flights, Chopin’s heart is carried back to Warsaw in secret by his adoring sister, a woman must return to her native Poland in order to poison her terminally ill high school sweetheart and a young man slowly descends to madness when his wife and child mysteriously vanish during a vacation and then suddenly reappear. Flights explores what it means to be a traveler, a wanderer, a body in motion through brilliantly imagined stories and characters, interwoven with haunting, playful and revelatory meditations.
