Olga Nawoja Tokarczuk おるが とかるちゅく Winner

Flights is Olga Tokarczuk's experimental novel made of fragments about travel, movement, the body, preservation, and death. Airports, hotels, anatomical specimens, Chopin's heart, and stories of disappearance intersect as the book asks how constant movement reshapes memory and being.

Between bodies in motion and bodies preserved, the novel asks where a person can locate the self.
