The Book of Flights

The Book of Flights

Summary

Young Man Hogan's journey begins in the dazzling streets of a nameless necropolis, and leads across fleeting landscapes - deserts, seas, mountains, islands, cities and great plains - to countless entertainments and adventures in four continents.It is an exploration and a celebration, glittering and exuberant, of the writer's art and of life itself.
