Book 150 of my bookclub is #Flesh by #DavidSzalay
keespaalvast.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/b...
David Szalay – Flesh (2025). Second reading of the Booker winner (for the book club). A compelling account of a man’s life. István grows up in Hungary, serves in the army in Iraq and is a property developer in London. The style is deadpan, but each episode seems believable and poignant. #DavidSzalay

Winner of the Booker Prize, Flesh by David Szalay uses minimalist prose to craft the life of his protagonist. While the style suits the character and clearly advances the author’s purpose, I found Flesh to be average. Find out here. #booksky #davidszalay

Flesh by #davidszalay This is a book you can read in a few days, but will make you think for weeks. It's about a lot of stuff, which for me includes fate, agency, nihilism, moral. People say they unexpectedly empathise with the main character - yes I did too. I recommend this book.
Superb superb superb - well done #davidszalay
#davidszalay #flesh wow what a first chapter - surely one of the best I’ve read to grip you into a story !
Finished Reading in January:
🪶 #TheUnbearableLightnessofBeing by #MilanKundera - expertly written
🚗 #Flesh by #DavidSzalay - fast and thought-provoking, my favourite of the month, but the beginning could have been better resolved
🐰 #AlicesAdventuresinWonderland by #LewisCarroll - a joyful reread
Deze winnaar van de #BookerPrize is zeer toegankelijk geschreven (da's niet altijd het geval met BP winnaars). En een mooi verhaal over hoe kansrijk en oneerlijk het leven kan zijn. #DavidSzalay #Flesh

Öde hat sich breit gemacht, nach der Lektüre von #DavidSzalay - Was nicht gesagt werden kann (2025). Eine karge, durchwegs emotionslose Sprache, Skizzen flacher Lebenserfahrung, dürres Erleben durch den Protagonisten - aber vielleicht besteht gerade darin die Kunst des Autors.

Speciaal.
Uitgelezen, maar toch kan ik het niet echt aanbevelen. Verhaal, stijl en personages zijn – bewust – eendimensionaal. Het minimalisme typeert en karakteriseert, maar neigt soms naar het pedante.
Lezen op eigen risico.
Benieuwd naar jullie ervaring.

(Audio) book of 54 of 2025 #Flesh by #DavidSzalay, this years @thebookerprizes.com winner. Was very graphic at the beginning.
David Szalay – Flesh (2025). Highly readable Booker Prize winner: an account of one man’s life. István grows up in Hungary and has periods in the army (Iraq) and as a wealthy property developer (London). Believable and poignant experiences rendered in a hypnotically “flat” style. #DavidSzalay
Endlich eine Gemeinsamkeit mit Dua Lipa: Wir haben beide den aktuellen Bookerprize-Gewinner in einer Bibliothek moderiert. Bei mir waren's die @buechereienwien.bsky.social, bei ihr nur die New York Public Library.

One thing about the Booker Prize winner this year that I haven't heard any critic mention - David Szalay's Flesh is a retelling of William Makepeace Thackeray's The Luck of Barry Lyndon. Once you figure that out it's boring ...

jsem strašně rád, že Booker Prize @thebookerprizes.com si zaslouženě (dobře, fandil jsem hodně i dvěma dalším knihám) odnesl #DavidSzalay za román #Flesh – už jen za tenhle minimalistický posun postavy a za styl psaní (kdo by čekal, že slovo "Okay" může mít takovou váhu a tolik významů) 📚
Well, bless my soul….Flesh gets off to a pretty fast start! #Flesh #BookerPrize #DavidSzalay

I am sorry to inform you that the #BookerPrize for fiction was not attributed to me for any of my #literature.
It was conferred - and rightly so - to the writer #DavidSzalay for his novel 'Flesh'.
Congratulations David!
(I have earned the right to be a little jealous, haven't I?)
