David Szalay: All That Man is

Popis produktu

These nine stories introduce us to nine men. Each of them is at a different stage in life, each of them is away from home - and each of them wants to be smack in the middle of things, to feel the thrill and essence of life. Instead, they find themselves on the outskirts of Prague, in ersatz Alpine village-developments, soaked beside Belgian motorways, stuck in shockingly inexpensive Cypriot hotels, and exposed, though they may choose not to see it, to another kind of truth. All That Man is a portrait of contemporary manhood, contemporary Europe and contemporary life from a British writer of supreme gifts - a master of a new kind of realism which vibrates with detail, intelligence and devastating pathos, comic irony and surprise.
