The author has a talent for pushing us inward, into ourselves, our bodies and also our tormenting histories so that we can remerge knowing all of our collective partsĪrticle Info: Received: Received in revised form: Accepted: Available online: ĭOI: 10.22161/ijels.64. ‘Flights’ is ultimately a novel about picking a thing apart. Although the novel is considered a postmodern invention, Olga Tokarczuk presents a unique pattern or style to her novel. I really loved Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead by Olga Tokarczuk so decided to try her other novel Flights instead.Where you can find me:Instagr. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. The Present Study attempts a postmodern reading of Olga Tokarczuk’s ‘Flights’ as a ‘constellation’ novel in which bunch of seemingly separate stories, experience and historical artifacts combine into a growing peak of emotional, physical and political interconnectedness. Tokarczuk, 56, became the first Polish writer to win the British prize which is now awarded annually to a book in English-language translation. Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk’s most ambitious to date. “Constellation is not sequencing, it carries truth”, in order to Reflect someone’s experiencing more accurately, it is necessary instead to gather a whole, out of pieces. Keywords: Constellation, interconnectedness, inward pushing, tormenting histories, postmodernism.Ībstract: The concept of ‘Constellation’ which means a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern, typically representing an inanimate object.
