David Szalay is a Canadian-British novelist whose work examines restlessness, masculinity, and displacement in contemporary Europe. His breakthrough came with All That Man Is (2016), a collection of linked stories following men of different ages across the continent, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
Szalay’s earlier novels, including London and the South-East (2008) and Spring (2011), established his spare, precise style. Turbulence (2019) continued the interconnected-stories approach, following twelve characters whose lives briefly intersect during air travel. His most recent novel, Flesh (2025), continues his exploration of modern identity.
