Description

Olga Tokarczuk is one of modern Poland’s favorite authors (loved by readers both elitist and mainstream). Her novel “Flights” brought her the country’s most prestigious literary prize, the “Nike.” “Flights” is, in a way, a literary monograph of traveling across the globe and through the human body—composed of oddly interconnected and, in the end, forming a single plot: stories, novellas, fragments of essays, travel notes, and more. It’s a novel about contemporary nomads—we are all nomads. About inner anxiety that makes a person leave the place they’re used to. About those who strive toward some goal, and about those for whom the path itself becomes the goal.
