Flesh
あらすじ・解説
Brought to you by Penguin.
From Booker shortlisted author David Szalay, a propulsive, hypnotic novel, about a man who is unravelled by a series of events beyond his grasp
Fifteen-year-old István 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 István himself can barely understand, and his life soon spirals out of control.
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.
Spare and penetrating, Flesh 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.
批評家のレビュー
'This is a marvellous novel. Compelling and elegant, merciless and poignant. David Szalay is an extraordinary writer' (Tessa Hadley)
'Szalay's prose... is frequently brilliant, remarkable for its grace and economy. He has a minimalist's gift for the quick sketch, whether of landscapes or human relationships' (Garth Greenwell, New York Times Book Review)
