WINNER OF THE 2025 BOOKER PRIZE AND A NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Finalist for the Kirkus Prize | Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence

From ';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 Istvn 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, Istvn 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 himselfestranged 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 Istvn 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.
