Flesh by David Szalay

Flesh by David Szalay

István is fifteen in a Hungarian tower block when a neighbour takes an interest in him. The novel then follows him for decades — the army, Iraq, London, money, a marriage — in flat declarative sentences that almost never say what he feels.

Szalay's method is to give you only the surface: what was said, what was done, where the body was. The reader supplies everything else, and the effect by the final section is devastating precisely because nobody in the book has been allowed to name it. Long stretches consist of dialogue in which István answers "okay".

Winner of the Booker Prize. Cold, controlled and one of the most discussed novels of the year.
