All That Man Is From the Booker Prize shortlisted author of Flesh

<p><b>SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 MAN BOOKER PRIZE</b><br><br><b>'Increasingly looking like the masterpiece of British fiction from the past few years' <i>Evening Standard</i></b><br><br>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.<br><br>Tracing an arc from the spring of youth to the winter of old age, <i>All That Man Is</i> 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.<br><br><b>WINNER OF THE EDGE HILL READER'S CHOICE AWARD</b><br><br><b>'Some of the best prose to be found in English this year' <i>Guardian</i><br><br>'Exact and true and always subtly intelligent' Tessa Hadley<br><br>'It's a rare and wonderous event when a novel changes the way you look at the world around you' William Boyd</b></p>
