This three-month reading programme explores three subjects, across seven chapters within the novel Flights by Nobel Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk.

Flights by Olga Togarczuk - a book, written in 116 short chapters, interweaving reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration.
