Flights of Love: Stories
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Pantheon Books
- Publish date: 10/01/2001
Description:
A smash success in Germany, where the book has been on the bestseller list since first publication a year ago and has sold over 300,000 copies to date, with no signs of slowing down -- a record for any collection of short fiction there.
Expand description
Seven stories, all of them weaving around the idea of love -- why people are drawn to it, why they run away, love as desire, love as confusion, love as a quick affair or a drastic life-changing rebellion, love as force of habit, love as guilt, love as self-betrayal.
Schlink's power as a storyteller, as we know from The Reader, is in his cool compassion, and the voice of absolute intelligence with which he dissects human motives and human behavior. Here, both are applied like delicate tools to the most powerful emotions, rather than to history -- and again he lays bare the essence of his subject.
