SUMMARY:David Szalay w/ Ethan Nosowsky
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDavid Szalay is the author of London and the South-East\, which won the Betty Trask Prize and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize; The Innocent; and Spring. In 2013\, he was named one of Granta‘s Best of Young British Novelists. He lives in Budapest. \nEthan Nosowsky is Editorial Director at Graywolf Press. He began his career at Farrar\, Straus and Giroux and has also been Editorial Director at McSweeney’s. He has edited books by Jeffery Renard Allen\, Hilton Als\, Kevin Barry\, David Byrne\, Vikram Chandra\, Geoff Dyer\, Dave Eggers\, Sarah Manguso\, Maggie Nelson\, and Jenny Offill among many others. He has taught in the Creative Writing program at Columbia University and has contributed to The Believer\, Bookforum\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, and Threepenny Review. He lives in Oakland\, California.
