Shortlisted for the 2016 Man Booker Prize, David Szalay's All That Man Is is the brilliantly observed, large-hearted novel of stories that has redefined contemporary writing. Set in various cities across Europe, this virtuoso collection of stories from David Szalay explores the ever-shifting terrain of manhood through the eyes of men who are at various stages in their lives. From the emotional angst of the teenage years to the gnawing aches of old age, these stories, in all their disturbing darkness, offer sharp psychological insight into the complex nature of what defines man, as characters grapple with pride and greed, jealousy and love, grief and loneliness. Funny and heart-achingly sad, these stories are invariably true to life as they contemplate all that man is. | All That Man Is by David Szalay, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
