Flight Paths was originally a five-part narrative that expanded to include a sixth epidosde. It "tells the story of an immigrant trying to escape Pakistan, first as a migrant laborer in Dubai and eventually as an airplane stowaway in route to London. With echoes of the magical realism of Salman Rushdie in the fifth episode, Flight Paths imagines an encounter between the dead stowaway and the woman onto whose car he has fallen. Much more than a restaging of 'East meets West,' Flight Paths gestures toward a true openness to the Other, to the stranger."--From Electronic Literature Collection 2
