Flesh

This is a marvellous novel. Compelling and elegant, merciless and poignant. David Szalay is an extraordinary writer -- Tessa Hadley A superb novel, written with great terse authority and allure: mordant, knowing and disturbingly wise -- William Boyd With exquisite control and precision and insight, David Szalay renders lost men that you cannot forget -- Rachel Kushner David Szalay writes with voluptuous authority. He possesses voice rather than merely style... He is an exceedingly gifted writer who can move in any direction he wishes... Mr. Szalay’s prose is exacting without being fussy... Mr. Szalay’s own stream of perception never falters in its sensitivity and probity * New York Times * 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
