Consumed does not disappoint. It compiles a lifetime of obsessions and observations about the merging of man and machine, the fascinating horrors of metamorphosis, the intertwining of sex and death, the anatomy of rage, and the mechanics of social downfall… Cronenberg is a deft and inventive writer. He is fearless in drawing characters who are flawed or depraved but also complex and comprehensible., Consumed is an eye-opening dazzler. Not for the fainthearted, but for those of uswho relish a trip into the shadowy depths, a must-read. Cronenberg's novel isas troubling, sinister, and as enthralling as his films., Cronenberg is doing some complicated things with storytelling and truth in Consumed -things that only a novel could accommodate, at least on this grand of a scale… Compelling., Cronenberg is doing some complicated things with storytelling and truth in Consumed -things that only a novel could accommodate, at least on this grand of a scale...

[...] Readers will find itimpossible to look away from the grotesque spectacle., Consumed is an eye-opening dazzler. Not for the fainthearted, but for those of us who relish a trip into the shadowy depths, a must-read. Cronenberg's novel is as troubling, sinister, and as enthralling as his films., For cineastes raised on Cronenberg's brilliant, twisted mid-'70s-to-mid-'80s oeuvre . . . this debut will feel like a homecoming. . . . The biggest revelation here is that Cronenberg is a gangbusters novelist. His dense, aristocratic prose is saturated with details of technology, sex, and disease-all forms of cannibalism, he seems to suggest-and every salacious bit is elevated to a thing of perverse beauty. Let's hope Cronenberg makes this book-writing thing a priority., Cronenberg's approach to narrative is sturdy and direct... His originality is in what he's driven to show you, the fierce sculptural intensity of his details and his willingness to linger., Cronenberg is a gangbusters novelist.

Cronenberg is a deft and inventive writer. He is fearless in drawing characters who are flawed or depraved but also complex and comprehensible., Coming from David Cronenberg, the originality, wit, preoccupation with technology, and uncompromising carnality of Consumed should come as no surprise. He will probably be accused of every sin that can be invented to compensate for human fear of mind and body. This fiercely original book, with the scope and poetic exactitude of Nabokov's best work, has the power to unsettle, disarm, and finally make the reader absolutely complicit., It's good disturbing…skillfully executed in the way that few first-time novels from crossover artists ever are and, more than that, absolutely fearless in its handling of subject matter that most writers wouldn't touch with sterile gloves and a long stick… It's admirable in its unflinching gaze and beautiful in the depiction of its consensually twisted reality., Classic Cronenberg! Who else can tell such a frightening, thrilling, shocking story about the nexus of the spirit and the flesh? Consumed will, well, consume you., It's good - disturbing...skillfully executed in the way that few first-time novels from crossover artists ever are and, more than that, absolutely fearless in its handling of subject matter that most writers wouldn't touch with sterile gloves and a long stick... It's admirable in its unflinching gaze and beautiful in the depiction of its consensually twisted reality., An astonishing, seamless continuation of what I call his peerless novelistic film oeuvres. With Consumed , he has become the definitive heir, not just of Kafka and Borges, but of Cronenberg himself., Cronenberg may be best known for his films, but this cool, unsympathetic examination of self-absorbed intellectuals shows that his skills as a prose author are not to be discounted. . . . Readers will find it impossible to look away from the grotesque spectacle.

Synopsis
The exhilarating debut novel by iconic filmmaker David Cronenberg: the story of two journalists whose entanglement in a French philosopher's death becomes a surreal journey into global conspiracy. Stylish and camera-obsessed, Naomi and Nathan thrive on the yellow journalism of the social-media age. They are lovers and competitors--nomadic freelancers in pursuit of sensation and depravity, encountering each other only in airport hotels and browser windows. Naomi finds herself drawn to the headlines surrounding C lestine and Aristide Arosteguy, Marxist philosophers and sexual libertines. C lestine has been found dead and mutilated in her Paris apartment. Aristide has disappeared. Police suspect him of killing her and consuming parts of her body. With the help of an eccentric graduate student named Herv Blomqvist, Naomi sets off in pursuit of Aristide. As she delves deeper into C lestine and Aristide's lives, disturbing details emerge about their sex life--which included trysts with Herv and others. Can Naomi trust Herv to help her? Nathan, meanwhile, is in Budapest photographing the controversial work of an unlicensed surgeon named Zolt n Moln r, once sought by Interpol for organ trafficking. After sleeping with one of Moln r's patients, Nathan contracts a rare STD called Roiphe's. Nathan then travels to Toronto, determined to meet the man who discovered the syndrome. Dr. Barry Roiphe, Nathan learns, now studies his own adult daughter, whose bizarre behavior masks a devastating secret. These parallel narratives become entwined in a gripping, dreamlike plot that involves geopolitics, 3-D printing, North Korea, the Cannes Film Festival, cancer, and, in an incredible number of varieties, sex. Consumed is an exuberant, provocative debut novel from one of the world's leading film directors., The exhilarating debut novel by iconic filmmaker David Cronenberg: the story of two journalists whose entanglement in a French philosopher's death becomes a surreal journey into global conspiracy.
