From the winner of the 2022 Los Angeles Times Book Award, As the Crow Flies is Véronique Tadjo's evocative collection of short stories. Navigating between the interconnected lives of her characters, Tadjo flies across the world to tell the tales of those in search of the truth.
Writing with exquisite, poetic prose, Véronique Tadjo weaves a rich tapestry of tales full of nameless and faceless characters as they tell their stories. Parting and return, losing and gaining, suffering and healing., As the Crow Flies is a lyrical exploration of the human heart.

    One of the greatest things literature does is allow us to imagine; to identify with situations and people who live in completely different circumstances, in countries all over the world

      you want to love
      Do so
      To the ends of the earth
      With no shortcuts
      Do so
      As the crow flies.

        I must leave behind denials and errors. I will think of him with great lassitude. I will no longer know his whereabouts, or what has become of him. I will no longer know whether the memory has faded or whether his pain still persists.
        I wanted to believe in fairy tales, believe I could journey on the back of a camel and spend my afternoons sipping tea.
        Now, I have to start all over again.
