𝘍𝘓𝘌𝘚𝘏 BY DAVID SZALAY
From Booker Prize finalist David Szalay, a propulsive, hypnotic novel, about a man whose future is derailed by a series of events that he is unable to control.
A collection of intimate moments over the course of decades, Flesh chronicles a man at odds with himself—estranged from and by the circumstances and demands of a life not entirely under his control and the roles that he is asked to play. Shadowed by the specter of past tragedy and the apathy of modernity, the tension between István and all that alienates him hurtles forward until sudden tragedy again throws life as he knows it in jeopardy.

NCMA W-S BOOK CLUB
How well can we know other people? How well can we know ourselves? This season, NCMA W-S Book Club will explore the theme of questionable characters, delving into these questions through characters with shady pasts, dubious intentions, and murky values.
Book Club is open to the public – even to those who don't finish the book. Selections range from national bestsellers to experimental novels and the guided discussions cover an array of topics, from themes and imagery to plot structures and character development. Book discussions are led by NCMA Winston-Salem Director Bill Carpenter.
