From Booker Prize finalist and “the shrewdest writer on contemporary masculinity we have” (Esquire), a “captivating...hypnotic...virtuosic” (The Baffler) novel about a man whose life veers off course due to a series of unforeseen circumstances.

Teenaged István lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. Shy and new in town, he is a stranger to the social rituals practiced by his classmates and is soon isolated, drawn instead into a series of events that leave him forever a stranger to peers, his mother, and himself. In the years that follow, István is born along by the goodwill, or self-interest, of strangers, charting a rocky yet upward trajectory that lands him further from his childhood, and the defining events that abruptly ended it, than he could possibly have imagined.

A collection of intimate moments over the course of decades, Flesh chronicles a man at odds with himself—estranged from and by the circumstances and demands of a life not entirely under his control and the roles that he is asked to play. Shadowed by the specter of past tragedy and the apathy of modernity, the tension between István and all that alienates him hurtles forward until sudden tragedy again throws life as he knows it in jeopardy. “Spare and detached on the page, lush in resonance beyond it” (NPR), Flesh traces the imperceptible but indelible contours of unresolved trauma and its aftermath amid the precarity and violence of an ever-globalizing Europe with incisive insight, unyielding pathos, and startling humanity.

Hmmm… A dozen great take-offs, with zero smooth landings. I’m probably just too unsophisticated to appreciate the true art and inner meaning…

I love it! What a story. I finished it in 2 days. I will recommend it to friends too.

Everything

I loved everything about this novel: The spare, beautiful writing, the organic way the story unfolded. I liked how passive the main character was. Life happens to him and he just sort of goes along. The narration was fantastic. I'd gladly recommend this book to friends.

Casts a real spell

Istvan, the main character in “Flesh,” is neither good nor likeable. Yet he’s a compelling character, and I was totally absorbed in his unpredictable life. He does plenty of bad things, and he sometimes seems to have ice in his heart, but he also has the capacity to work hard, to sacrifice and to love. The novel has things to say about family, ambition (or its absence) and money. It’s all low key and indirect. Like Istvan, the other characters are not especially sympathetic, but they are understandable and well drawn.

The narrator is excellent. He can convey a range of emotions when Istvan offers one-word answers like “Yeah” and “”Okay” and “Dunno.” He handles dialogue very well. This book is a great listen.

How Cold?

This story was very ordinary with undeveloped characters. Dialogue was…stilted. Lots of “uh huhs” and “yeahs.” I kept waiting for something to happen. Maybe that was the point…an ordinary account of an ordinary life. This story was simply ok for me.

I must have missed something

There is much more to this book that meets the eye. The simplistic dialogue, along with the immature main character, builds, as does life, into a complex scenario. The author creates such a real world atmosphere—lots of “I don’t know’s” with no definite direction of the main character, except his acquiescence to whatever other characters suggest or put up upon him. The reader is left with an uneasiness that “flesh “gets a little too close to real life.

It grows on you

The book is boring and filled with gratuitous descriptions of sexual incidents and not much else
