WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREWINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZENATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR TRANSLATED LITERATUREA visionary work of fiction by "A writer on the level of W. G. Sebald" (Annie Proulx)"A magnificent writer." - Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel Prize-winning author of Secondhand Time"A beautifully fragmented look at man's longing for permanence. Ambitious and complex." - Washington PostFrom 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. 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 into madness when his wife and child mysteriously vanish during a vacation and just as suddenly reappear. 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. Where are you from? Where are you coming in from? Where are you going? we call to the traveler. Enchanting, unsettling, and wholly original, Flights is a master storyteller's answer.

This Man Booker International Prize winner reads like a rigorous response to that question in the best, most edifying (and maddening) wayMagnificently translated from the Polish by Jennifer Croft, Flights has the scattered intimate quality of a personal diary, its magic wedded to its singularity. It's an unexpected, funny journey into that most elusive of places - the human condition." -Entertainment Weekly"A revelation Flights is a witty, imaginative, hard-to-classify work that is in the broadest sense about travel. In this risky, restlessly mercurial book, Tokarczuk has found a way of turningphilosophy into writing that doesn't just take flight but soars." - NPR's "Fresh Air""A beautifully fragmented look at man's longing for permanence ambitious and complex." -Washington Post"It's a busy, beautiful vexation, this novel, a quiver full of fables of pilgrims and pilgrimages, and the reasons - the hidden, the brave, the foolhardy - we venture forth into the world In Jennifer Croft's assured translation, each self-enclosed account is tightly conceived and elegantly modulated, the language balletic, unforced." -The New York Times"A writer on the level of W. G. Sebald." -Annie Proulx"Tokarczuk's discerning eye shakes things up, in the same way that her book scrambles conventional forms. Like her characters, our narrator is always on the move, and is always noticing and theorizing, often brilliantly." -The New Yorker"There's no better travel companion in these turbulent, fanatical times." -The Guardian"Dive in beyond physical place to the mind of the traveler in this experimental collection of interwoven stories, essays, and musings as delightfully meandering as wanderlust itself."-Fodor's Travels"Flights works like a dream does: with fragmentary trails that add up to a delightful reimagining of the novel itself."-Marlon James"This hypnotizing new novel about travel, movement, and the complexities of distance deserves a place on every bookshelf." -Southern Living"Provides food for thought about what makes us move and what makes us tick. Travel may broaden the mind, but this travel-themed book stimulates it." -Minneapolis Star-Tribune"Take the time to settle into this unconventional narrative that is by turns startling, moving and profound." -Dallas Morning News"An unclassifiable medley of linked fictions and essays. Reading it is like being a passenger on a long trip. It's amusing, exciting. It moves. to moments of intense interest and beauty." -Wall Street Journal"A disori".
