Booker Prize 2025
“The uncommonly gifted Hungarian-English novelist David Szalay offers unvarnished scenes from a lonely, rags-to-riches life. David Szalay’s simplicity is, like Hemingway’s, the fatty sort that resonates. The cool, remote novel reckoning, in a clear-eyed and reasonable way, with the reality of fate’s cold indifference, David Slazay is a master of the flinty, spare sentence at its heart.”
The New York Times
"Reckoning, in a clear-eyed and reasonable way, with the reality of fate’s cold indifference, David Slazay is a master of the flinty, spare sentence at its heart, ‘Flesh’ is about more than just the things that go unsaid: it is also about what is fundamentally unsayable, the ineffable things that sit at the centre of every life, hovering beyond the reach of language.”
The Guardian
“A propulsive, hypnotic novel about a man who is unravelled by a series of events beyond his grasp. Using only the sparest of prose, this hypnotically tense and compelling book becomes an astonishingly moving portrait of a man’s life”
The Booker Prize judges
“Un grand roman du corps, de l’étrangeté au monde, de la masculinité et du mouvement, d’une sécheresse hypnotisante, qui carbure aux phrases courtes et répétitives ainsi qu’aux silences. Un roman dont le laconisme, l’opacité, ne ménagent pas le lecteur et qui s’avère pourtant difficile à reposer.”
