ALL THAT MAN IS - DAVID SZALAY KARTONIERT (TB)

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 MAN BOOKER PRIZE    'Increasingly looking like the masterpiece of
British fiction from the past few years' Evening Standard   Nine men. Each of them at a
different stage of life  each of them away from home  and each of them striving - in the
suburbs of Prague  beside a Belgian motorway  in a cheap Cypriot hotel - to understand just
what it means to be alive  here and now.  Tracing an arc from the spring of youth to the winter
of old age  All That Man Is brings these separate lives together to show us men as they are -
ludicrous and inarticulate  shocking and despicable  vital  pitiable  hilarious  and full of
heartfelt longing. And as the years chase them down  the stakes become bewilderingly high in
this piercing portrayal of 21st-century manhood.   WINNER OF THE EDGE HILL READER'S CHOICE
AWARD    'Some of the best prose to be found in English this year' Guardian   'Exact and true
and always subtly intelligent' Tessa Hadley  'It's a rare and wonderous event when a novel
changes the way you look at the world around you' William Boyd
