Flesh: A Novel (Booker Prize Winner) cover image

Flesh

By David Szalay

The story follows István, a shy Hungarian teenager whose difficult transition to a new town leaves him isolated from his classmates, his mother, and eventually even himself. After a series of formative events abruptly changes the course of his youth, István moves through adulthood guided by the goodwill and self-interest of strangers, building a life that takes him ever further from the person he once was.

Spanning decades, the novel unfolds through a series of intimate moments that explore alienation, identity, tragedy, and the forces that shape a life beyond our control. As István struggles with the roles and expectations imposed upon him, the weight of his past continues to haunt him, until another sudden tragedy threatens to upend everything he has built.
