<p><b>'Brilliance on every page' </b>Samantha Harvey, author of <i>Orbital</i><br/><br/><b>'A superb novel ...</b> <b>mordant, knowing and disturbingly wise' </b>David Nicholls, author of<i> One Day</i><br/><br/><b>From Booker-shortlisted author David Szalay, comes a propulsive, hypnotic novel about a man who is unravelled by a series of events beyond his grasp.</b><br/><br/>Fifteen-year-old Istvan lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. New to the town and shy, he is unfamiliar with the social rituals at school and soon becomes isolated, with his neighbour - a married woman close to his mother's age - as his only companion. These encounters shift into a clandestine relationship that Istvan himself can barely understand, and his life soon spirals out of control.<br/><br/>As the years pass, he is carried gradually upwards on the currents of the twenty-first century's tides of money and power, moving from the army to the company of London's super-rich, with his own competing impulses for love, intimacy, status and wealth winning him unimaginable riches, until they threaten to undo him completely.<br/><br/>Spare and penetrating, <i>Flesh</i> is the finest novel yet by a master of realism, asking profound questions about what drives a life: what makes it worth living, and what breaks it.<br/><br/><b>Chosen as a 'Best Book of 2025' by the <i>Guardian</i>, <i>Observer</i>,<i> Financial Times</i>, <i>Daily Telegraph</i> and <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br/><br/><b>'It's been a long time since I've been swallowed whole by a novel the way I was by this one ... So much searing insight into the way we live now' </b>Alex Preston, <i>Observer</i><br/><br/><b>'Compelling and elegant, merciless and poignant. David Szalay is an extraordinary writer</b><b>' </b>Tessa Hadley</p>
