David Zalai has won the 2025 Booker Prize for his novel 'Flesh,' becoming the first Hungarian writer to receive one of the most important awards for works in the English language. The organizers of the award ceremony in London announced in a statement that 'the novel 'Flesh' meditates on class, power, migration, and masculinity, a convincing portrait of one man and the formative experiences that can resonate throughout a lifetime.' This is the author's sixth literary work, who was born in Canada and had previously been shortlisted in 2016 for his novel 'All That Is Human,' which tells the story of nine men at different stages of their lives.
