All That Man Is , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 800min
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016 An ingenious book from the exceptional Granta Best Young British Novelist Nine men: each of them at a different stage of life, away from home, and striving - in the suburbs of Prague, in a cheap Cypriot hotel - to understand just what it means to be alive here and now. Tracing an arc from the spring of youth to the winter of old age, All That Man Is 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. ungekürzt.
