Flight is a novel written by Sherman Alexie, published in 2007. The protagonist of the novel, Zits, is a fifteen-year-old Native American boy who has suffered a lot of trauma in his life, including the death of his mother, being put in foster care, and being bullied at school. Zits feels abandoned and angry and is searching for a way to make sense of his life.
One day, after getting into a fight with a teacher, Zits finds himself transported through time and space, inhabiting the bodies of different people throughout history. He experiences life as an FBI agent chasing bank robbers, an Indian boy sent to a boarding school, and a pilot who drops an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, among others.
As Zits moves through different bodies and experiences, he starts to see that every human being has a story and that we are all connected in ways we can't always understand. Eventually, Zits must come to terms with his own past and find a way to move forward with a deeper understanding of the atrocities committed against his people and others throughout history.
Throughout the novel, Alexie explores questions of identity, trauma, and the power of storytelling. He also uses Flight to address issues of racism, colonialism, and historical trauma in Native American communities.
