Olga Tokarczuk said of her novel, Flights, 'constellation, not sequencing, carries truth'. Something is happening, perhaps the emergence of a literature of fragments, of hybrid texts constructed from essay, fiction, memoir, history, poetry, documentation, travelogue. This approach is echoed and reflected in many places, in writers such as Maria Stepanova, Sven Lindqvist, Luis Sagesti, Judith Schalansky and Stephanie Sy-Quia and many others.
