«Flights of Love» is Bernhard Schlink's collection of short stories, published by Phoenix in paperback (320 pages, in English).
A collection of seven stories in which Bernhard Schlink examines love as desire, confusion, fleeting adventure, rebellion, habit and self-betrayal. With his sober, precise prose, he portrays characters and relationships marked by guilt and betrayal, in situations where introspection is inevitable, and explores why people are drawn to love or flee from it.
Originally published in German as «Liebesfluchten» (2000); the English translation is by John E. Woods.
For readers of literary fiction and contemporary short stories, with brief tales about human relationships marked by guilt and betrayal.
Bernhard Schlink is a German lawyer, academic, and novelist. He is best known for his novel The Reader, which was first published in 1995 and became an international bestseller. He won the 2014 Park Kyong-ni Prize.
