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.
