Flesh (Paperback) By David Szalay

Flesh by David Szalay is a compelling novel about chance, desire, love, money, power, and the forces that shape a person’s life. It follows István from his teenage years in Hungary through adulthood and into the elite circles of London.

At fifteen, István becomes isolated after moving to a new town, forming a clandestine relationship with a married woman that sets his life on an unexpected course. As the years pass, he moves from the army into a world of wealth and privilege, where his desires for intimacy, status, and financial success bring both extraordinary opportunities and devastating consequences.

A powerful and thought-provoking portrait of one man’s journey through the changing landscapes of modern life, Flesh explores how chance and choice can shape—and ultimately unravel—a human life.
