The Booksmith presents All That Man Is author David Szalay in conversation with Ethan Nosowsky at Second Act
Long-listed for the 2016 Man Booker Prize, David Szalay presents All That Man Is. This ambitious, form-busting novel interrogates the state of modern manhood through the stories of nine different characters, each at a different stage of life, away from home, and striving—in the suburbs of Prague, an overdeveloped Alpine village, beside a Belgian motorway, in a dingy Cyprus hotel—to understand what it means to be alive, here and now. Szalay uses the ostensibly separate narratives to craft a picture of the shared existence and predicament of the twenty-first-century man. All That Man Is masters a new kind of psychological realism that vibrates with detail, intelligence, relevance, and devastating pathos.
