Books On The Go

Flesh by David Szalay

30 Aug 2025

Description

Anna and Geoff discuss Sally Rooney pledging royalties to Palestine Action and the Library of South Australia being second on the list of the world's most beautiful libraries.   Our book of the week is FLESH, the new novel by David Szalay which has been long-listed for the 2025 Booker Prize. It tells the story of Istvan, a Hungarian British man, in an episodic structure using key points in his life, moving from a poor upbringing in Hungary to the riches of  London, charting his rise and fall. We both read this quickly and found much to discuss.   Coming up: ENDLING by Maria Reva. Follow us!
