About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Winner of The Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2019

Discover the brilliant new short story collection from the Man Booker-shortlisted author of All That Man Is.

Twelve people on the move around planet Earth, 12 individual lives, each in turmoil, and each in some way touching the next.

In this nuanced and deeply moving sequence, David Szalay's diverse protagonists circumnavigate the world in 12 plane journeys, from London to Madrid, from Dakar to Sao Paulo, to Toronto, to Delhi, to Doha, en route to see lovers and parents, children and siblings, or nobody at all.

Along the way, Szalay deftly depicts the ripple effect that, knowingly or otherwise, a person's actions have on those around them, and invites us to consider our own place in the vast and delicately balanced network of human relationships that is the world we live in today.

Turbulence… beautifully written

Captivating from the start, this short story cleverly intertwines the lives of 12 passengers travelling the globe each in turmoil. It’s a real page turner and finished it within an an afternoon. Highly recommend it.
