the last book I ever read (Flesh: A Novel by David Szalay, excerpt two)

from Flesh: A Novel (2025 Booker Prize Winner) by David Szalay:

He doesn’t ask any more questions, and István doesn’t ask him anything about what he’s doing. He’s obviously a doctor.

That’s what he’s done with the last decade or whatever—turned himself into a doctor.

Ten years ago he and this doctor were the same, István thinks.

They were the same.

And now the doctor’s a doctor and he’s . . . whatever he is.
