Flesh: Winner of the Booker Prize 2025

Experience the Booker Prize 2025-winning masterpiece by David Szalay—a spare, visceral, and utterly compelling novel about chance, luck, love, and the forces that make and break our lives!

About the Book: Fifteen-year-old István lives with his mother in a modest apartment complex in Hungary. Shy and newly arrived in town, he struggles with school social rituals and finds himself isolated, with his only companion being a married woman close to his mother's age. When their unexpected encounters shift into a clandestine relationship, István’s life spirals completely out of control. Years later, through a trajectory shaped by chance and ambition—taking him from the army to the dizzying, elite circles of London's super-rich—he navigates the relentless tides of twenty-first-century money and power. Torn between genuine love, intimacy, status, and staggering wealth, István discovers that his newfound riches threaten to undo him entirely. Hailed as a best book of the year across major publications and praised by literary giants, Flesh is a revelatory, sharp-eyed exploration of modern life.
