'Flights of Love' is a collection of seven short stories that center on love. These are not sweet, sentimental stories since the protagonists are German men, mostly lawyers or law students, that view their emotions with cool, analytic minds. The stories are about communication problems, love that has lost passion, regrets, and midlife crisis mentalities. A few stories deal with the way that people regard younger Germans (who were not alive during World War II) because the Holocaust had such deva..more

I have never really been one for short stories. Something in them doesn't suit me and they generally leave me with a feeling of dissatisfaction. This collection, by Bernhard Schlink of The Reader fame, could not have made me feel more different. With the thread running through them all, these stories examines our shared, fundamental desire to find love but the many different forms that love, that one, lasting relationship can take. The characters leading these stories are all very different peop..more

Picked this up because I wanted to get beyond the tortured obsessions of Homecoming, and Schlink is so highly thought of, I wondered whether I was being overly critical. Happily this collection of short stories is much better, although not uniformly. The first, “Girl and Lizard” is written in the same dessicated and tortured style that beset Homecoming, only this time it’s over a painting. It’s also marred by Schlink’s tendency to sink into a courtroom inquisition substitute for conversation tha..more

A set of longish short stories, they are typically 50-60 pages so almost novellas. They build on common themes for Schlink - coming to terms with Germany's Nazi past, love, affairs and ageing. They are variable in quality, both in terms of the stories and the writing.
Schlink provides some interesting insights and observations, but the writing is not that great. There is too much telling the reader, and not enough space left to build up our own of images and letting us form our own observations...more

Bernhard Schlink created a devoted following with the translation of his first novel THE READER. Opinion was divided among critics and readers as to whether or not this author was playing on simplistic heart-string tuggings or whether he really had somthing new to say and an equal talent to say it.

I borrowed this book from my friend's fiance. When my friend delivered it to me he said 'this looks like a very boring book'. Honestly I had my doubts when I started reading it as the story would go on with details but then the ending was not so dramatic or stunning as you usually get in fiction. But I liked Bernhard's style of writing. It's so beautiful that it always persuaded me to read more our of curiosity even if I knew the ending would not be surprising.

Schlink has written seven stories with male German protagonists. To me what unites the stories is a certain moodiness as the men examine the nature of love in their lives. Most deal with regret and loss. Some are compassionate and some shocking. It's difficult for me to rate the book as a single work. Of course I feel more strongly about some stories than others. I decided to go the generous route. I wasn't particularly impressed with the first three stories, though they are interesting, but I v..more

Girl with Lizard
This was a meh for me.
I really didn’t get the boy’s obsession with the painting. Why? Why choose a painting over real love? It seemed silly….it was probably symbolism for picking other things over love, but still a meh. 1 star for this.
A Little Fling

My thoughts on 'Girl with a Lizard':
One's life, emotion, and feeling may be explained; the painting may take-on more meaning then anything else. She may offer an explanation for an unhappy or cheerful life that cannot be given by simple words and actions.
My thoughts after reading 'The Other Man':
Most don't understand the burden and cold gift that vengeance can be. The weak and trying obsession with the other person. How often you wish to be close to the other person--to find their secrets so you..more

There are times when I find the deliberateness of Bernhard Schlink perfect for the pace of my mind, and other times we are just out of sync. He continues in his thoughtful,steady manner, but I crave the quirky humor of Douglas Adams or Chris Moore, or even (shudder) something cotton candy light, to fluff out the creases in my brain. I think that may be why it took me so long to work through these stories-- my intellect wouldn't cooperate. I was never emotionally swept away by anything in the boo..more

I really liked Schlink's dry writing style in The Reader, where you had a whole book to learn about the characters and like them. It does NOT work so well in short stories. I was bored almost from page 1 and had to drag myself through this whole book. Even though almost every story was 50 pages long, I never understood the characters or their motivations to like them, let alone understand them. It shouldn't've taken me almost 3 weeks to read a 200 page book when if I really like a story I can re..more

An unremarkable book of short stories, full of unremarkable and in most cases, unlikable characters. I wasn't excited about reading this to start with. I didn't think 'The Reader' was as good as everyone made it out to be. But I like to give authors a second chance. This was worst. I'm not the biggest fan of stort stories but these were just all so dull. I especially disliked 'A Little Fling' and the only story I found somewhat intresting was 'Sugar Peas' Maybe it's becuase I'm not smart enough..more

Bernard Schlink is a remarkably fine story teller. In his book, the Flights of Love, of seven short stories, while a bit uneven, he shows that he can relate tales of interest, of introspection, of intrigue, of self-deception, and generally can keep you flowing with his thoughts to the somewhat open-ended conclusions. Have you ever wondered what brought two lovers together despite their opposing cultural/religious differences? Read Schlink’s the Circumcision!
Jun 01, 2015Heidi Liu rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
Schlink, in his unassuming, matter-of-fact way, weaves a collection of stories that involve such a non-obvious tenderness as to first surprise and then endear his reader. This collection touches often upon the (potentially) uncomfortable realm of German-Jewish love affairs with grace and realism. Beneath his straightforward and engaging plot lines, Schlink also does a remarkable job of characterizing some of my favorite European cities. These are dignified, powerful stories, quietly told.

I was at first attracted by Schlink's calm, clear prose. There were no frills, no long and meandering descriptions. This clipped and clear method of prose was very refreshing.
One of the main irks of this book was the tendency to follow a sort of Hemingway-esque method of trying to convey layers of meaning beneath seemingly simple sentences and passages. It's not the easiest method of writing and very few writers can pull it off. I also thought that Schlink's world was something that I couldn't..more

I had really loved The Reader. So when I saw this one at the bookshop, I picked it up without thinking.
The pitch is interesting: how can a young American Jewish woman and a young German man live out their love story 50 years after the Holocaust?
But it seems like Schlink is more interested in staging debates than actually creating characters. Of course, what they say is interesting, but in that case, a smart essay would have been more appropriate. I was hoping for fiction. This is not good fictio..more

My favorite Schlink book.
I don't think it's easy to capture the different varieties of love. Or the emotions and thoughts in us that can make it and can break it.
It's not easy to write about love in a way that feels brutally real. But Schlink saw it and wrote it down. For us to read and identify within ourselves.
Intimate emotions are born out of who we are, our circumstances, and life situations. And Schlink shows that, in each one of his short stories.

Seven stories..slices of life..by turns gripping & amusingly cynical about modern relationships with heavy feet dragging in past conflicts..written with a rhythm that equates to an earlier era of literature in German..funereal almost..bearing heavy burdens from 20th. century conflicts. Sad but worth the agony.

This is a gem to read especially when traveling. This collection of short stories got under my skin. Some stories explore cultural identity in love relationships. Some involve male characters who do not know how to love or are incapable of loving or only love themselves. The stories reminded me of how hard it is to have insight in how others love us. One cannot control love. Love cannot be tamed or harnessed. It has its own free will. One day it can just go and desert us. My only complaint is th..more

I just finished reading Flights of Love by German lawyer and writer Bernhard Schlink, famed for his novel The Reader, and I must say that it was a simple collection of short stories but nobody can deny the fact that each story brings out strong message.

In ‘The Reader’ Bernard Schlink utilized an affair between a teenage boy and an SS solder to explore the relationship between Germany’s past and present. Through his unsympathetic, blunt and distinctive prose he investigates the wider effects of concentration camps beyond terrified Jews huddled in gas chambers. The result is astounding; an erotic, tragic, and beautiful narrative demonstrating how morals blur, and love changes.

I always think I do not like short stories. But these stories are fantastic.

At first, I didn't realise that this was a book of short stories. However, I think Schlink is best suited to novels like The Reader. His short stories in this were built up beautifully, however they were rushed at the end, like he had run out of ideas to sustain the idea. Each one of these, with the exception of 'The Other Man' could have been crafted into novellas or longer short stories. I also feel like he is exhausting the Holocaust and German politics in the 1960's/70's by writing about the..more
