His novels All That Man Is and Turbulence are noted for their unique narrative structure, being collections of intertwined short stories.

Flesh (Szalay novel)
Flesh, published in 2025, is the sixth novel by David Szalay. It tells a rags-to-riches story, about a young Hungarian man named István. He lives an impulsive lifestyle, making rash decisions without thinking them through. After his sexual awakening, juvenile detention, military service and a series of menial jobs, István becomes a rich married socialite in London. This success brings him some contentment, but István's largely unchanged personality generates conflict with his new family.

Some critics praised the novel's lean prose, compelling story and taciturn protagonist. Others reacted negatively to the decision to omit many important events in István's life from the narrative, and to his sparse, limited dialogue.

The work won the 2025 Booker Prize. The chair of the judging panel, the author Roddy Doyle, described the work as "singular" in its narrative style. Doyle further stated that the sparseness of the novel invited the reader to engage with the character.

Karma in Hinduism
Karma is a concept of Hinduism which describes a system in which advantageous effects are derived from past beneficial actions and harmful effects from past harmful actions, creating a system of actions and reactions throughout a soul's (jivatman's) reincarnated lives, forming a cycle of rebirth. The causality is said to apply not only to the material world but also to our thoughts, words, actions, and actions that others do under our instructions.

According to Vedanta thought, the most influential school of Hindu theology, the effects of karma are controlled by God (Isvara).

There are four different types of karma: prarabdha, sanchita, and kriyamana and agami. Prarabdha karma is experienced through the present body and is only a part of sanchita karma, which is the sum of one's past karma's, Kriyamana karma is the karma that is being performed in the present whereas Agami karma is the result of current decisions and actions.

Sanchita karma
In Hinduism, Sanchita karma (heaped together) is one of the three kinds of karma. It is the accumulation of one's past karmas – all actions, good and bad, from one's past embodiments that are stored in one's subconscious. Sanchita karmas follow through to the next life.

A part of the Sanchita karmas that has reached fructification, called Prarabdha karma, will determine the body form that the spiritual entity will assume to experience them so also the friends, relatives and life partner you get.
Christopher Hogwood
Christopher Jarvis Haley Hogwood CBE (10 September 1941 – 24 September 2014) was an English conductor, harpsichordist, and musicologist. Founder of the early music ensemble the Academy of Ancient Music, he was an authority on historically informed performance and a leading figure in the early music revival of the late 20th century.

Academy of Ancient Music
The Academy of Ancient Music (AAM) is a British period-instrument orchestra based in Cambridge, England.

They generally play Baroque, Classical, and sometimes Romantic music, although they have also played some new compositions for baroque orchestra in recent years.
Turnstile antenna
A turnstile antenna, or crossed-dipole antenna, is a radio antenna consisting of a set of two identical dipole antennas mounted at right angles to each other and fed in phase quadrature; the two currents applied to the dipoles are 90° out of phase.  The name reflects the notion the antenna looks like a turnstile when mounted horizontally.  The antenna can be used in two possible modes.  In normal mode the antenna radiates horizontally polarized radio waves perpendicular to its axis.  In axial mode the antenna radiates circularly polarized radiation along its axis.

Specialized normal mode turnstile antennas called superturnstile or batwing antennas are used as television broadcasting antennas.  Axial mode turnstiles are widely used for satellite ground station antennas in the VHF and UHF bands, as circular polarization is often used for satellite communication since it is not sensitive to the orientation of the satellite antenna in space.

Batwing antenna
A batwing or super turnstile antenna is a broadcasting antenna used at VHF and UHF frequencies, named for its distinctive shape resembling a bat wing or bow tie. Stacked arrays of batwing antennas are used as television broadcasting antennas due to their omnidirectional characteristics.  Batwing antennas  generate a horizontally polarized signal.  The advantage of the "batwing" design for television broadcasting is that it has a wide bandwidth.  It was the first widely used television broadcasting antenna.
