David Szalay: What Makes a Life?

Ranging from communist Hungary to the London of the super-rich, David Szalay's Flesh unravels a man via a story collection hiding inside a novel. Today, meet an already garlanded writer; one blessed with rare authority when dealing with the most compelling of subjects: life in glorious technicolour. And it's all there to be discussed: masculinity, sex, desire, attainment, money, success, and prosperity equating to success - and the fallacy of it all.
