A review by thomasgoddard
Turbulence by David Szalay

4.0

This book is a masterclass in how to write both short stories (because they are) and also interconnected lives within a novel (because they are too).

The people written about travel through the pages, dovetailing each tale together in such a supremely subtle but such an arresting way. You know the link is coming. Even when you know which character will draw the book forward you can't help but be impressed with the delivery. Besides that there are beautiful lines. Twists. Just lots of little things that pepper the work with a believability. It's honest fiction. The best kind of writing.

Deeply satisfying. Immeasurably gratifying. I'm very impressed with Szalay and can't wait to jump into All That Man Is.
