Who Should Read Flights?

Readers who enjoy Flights by Olga Tokarczuk and translated by Jennifer Croft are likely to appreciate introspective and fragmented narratives that explore themes of travel, human anatomy, and existential quests. Fans of W.G. Sebald’s Austerlitz or Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities would find a similar poetic and philosophical resonance.
