Flesh is a propulsive, hypnotic novel about a man undone by forces beyond his control. Fifteen-year-old Istvan lives a quiet life in Hungary with his mother until a forbidden relationship with his neighbour sets him on a path of secrecy and self-destruction. As he rises through the shifting worlds of the military and the super-rich, his hunger for love, status, and belonging propels him toward both power and ruin. Spare, haunting, and deeply human, Flesh is the work of a master realist, exploring what drives us, what sustains us, and what ultimately breaks us.
