A âmasterfulâ (The Washington Post), âcatharticâ (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), novel about twelve people, mostly strangers, and the surprising ripple effect each one has on the life of the next as they cross paths while in transit around the worldâfrom the Booker Prizeâshortlisted author of All That Man Is.
In this âcompellingâ (The Christian Science Monitor), âcrisp and cleverâ (Vanity Fair) novel, Szalayâs diverse protagonists circumnavigate the planet in twelve flights, from London to Madrid, from Dakar to Sao Paulo, to Toronto, to Delhi, to Doha, en route to see lovers or estranged siblings, aging parents, baby grandchildren, or nobody at all. Along the way, they experience the full range of human emotions from loneliness to love and, knowingly or otherwise, change each other in one brief, electrifying interaction after the next.
Written with magic and economy, âSzalay explores the miraculous ability of our shared humanity to lift us from lonelinessâ (Esquire) and delivers a dazzling portrait of the interconnectedness of the modern world.
