You don’t always need a plane ticket to travel; sometimes, all you need is a book. Often, fiction books can help us explore worlds outside our own, take us out of life’s everyday tangles, and allow us to widen our perspective. First stop, Poland! We hope you enjoy this discussion about ‘Flights’ by Olga Tokarczuk.

“Flights” by the Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk is fascinating in the way that mysterious, chin-scratching things are exciting….It is sometimes a work of fiction, but it is also a treatise in her theories on anatomy, philosophy, and human nature, all centered around the experience of traveling, both through the world and over time in the body.
