All That Man Is by David Szalay.
David Szalay follows nine men at different stages of life across contemporary Europe. Their separate circumstances form a larger study of ambition, vulnerability and the passage from youth toward old age.
Read it for the relationship between the individual stories and the shape they make together. The book challenges readers to consider what these men share without reducing their lives to a single explanation.
