Flights - Softcover

'In the vein of WG Sebald [Flights] knits together snippets of fiction, narrative and reflection to meditate on human anatomy and the meaning of travel: this is a delicate, ingenious book that is constantly making new connections.' --Justine Jordan, Guardian

'Tokarczuk examines questions of travel in our increasingly interconnected and fast-moving world....Trained as a psychologist, Tokarczuk in interested in what connects the human soul and body. It is a leitmotif that, despite apparent lack of a single plot, tightly weaves the text's different strands - of fiction, memoir and essay - into a whole. Some chapters are more akin to traditional travel notes: sketches of airport encounters, fellow travellers' 'confessions of whole lifetimes', and other things people often jot down when on a journey. There are also beautiful set pieces, occasionally split into recurring threads.' --Anna Aslanyan, Spectator
