”Ett mästerverk”, The Observer

"Enastående" Zadie Smith

"En storartad roman” Tessa Hadley

István är femton år och flyttar med sin mamma till ett nytt bostadsområde i Ungern. Han känner ingen men en dag inleder grannfrun en relation med honom, vilket får ödesdigra konsekvenser för hans framtida liv. Några år senare lämnar han Ungern för London, där han blir livvakt till de exceptionellt rika, för att sedan själv försöka göra karriär inom samma elit, ständigt beredvillig. Den internationellt hyllade "Kött" är en djuplodande samtidsskildring med drag av klassiskt drama. David Szalay har skrivit en existentiell bildningsroman om en man som drömmer om lycka och rikedom, men som får betala med sitt eget kött.

”…otroligt fängslande. Gripande, sorglig, störande – och renande på det vis som riktigt god konst kan vara.” Jenny Högström, GP

”…enastående roman” – Ingrid Elam, Kulturnyheterna

”Det pratas ofta om att män i allmänhet, och unga män i synnerhet, läser för lite skönlitteratur. Sätt den här boken i händerna på dem så är problemet löst.” Teodor Stig-Matz, ETC

"En roman om det viktigaste i våra liv: arbete, pengar, sex och död" Tommy Sundin, VK.

”Imponerande” Jens Liljestrand, Expressen

” Utgången är väntad. Ändå slår jag igen boken som bedövad, liksom bländad av det outhärdliga ljuset från världens samlade lidande, det som finns där hela tiden och som man bara orkar titta på i några sekunder. Jag förstår inte riktigt hur Szalay gör för att åstadkomma denna lyskraft. Men jag tror att det har att göra med hur han, liksom István, dröjer sig kvar i tystnaden långt efter att den har slutat vara behaglig.” Rebecka Kärde, DN

THE 2025 BOOKER PRIZE WINNING AUTHOR OF FLESH 'Increasingly looking like the masterpiece of British fiction from the past few years' Evening StandardNine men. Each of them at a different stage of life, each of them away from home, and each of them striving – in the suburbs of Prague, beside a Belgian motorway, in a cheap Cypriot hotel – to understand just what it means to be alive, here and now.Tracing an arc from the spring of youth to the winter of old age, All That Man Is brings these separate lives together to show us men as they are – ludicrous and inarticulate, shocking and despicable; vital, pitiable, hilarious, and full of heartfelt longing. And as the years chase them down, the stakes become bewilderingly high in this piercing portrayal of 21st-century manhood.WINNER OF THE EDGE HILL READER'S CHOICE AWARD'Some of the best prose to be found in English this year' Guardian'Exact and true and always subtly intelligent' Tessa Hadley'It's a rare and wonderous event when a novel changes the way you look at the world around you' William Boyd

But when this offer turns out to be as misleading as Paul's sales patter, his life and that of his family are transformed in ways very much more peculiar than he ever thought possible.
