skin

Written under the pressure-cooker conditions of the three-day novel contest,Bonnie Bowman has come up with a funny, twisted book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Focusing on the sexually frustrated (even tormented) Dr. Swan, who suffers from a"deformity" most men would give their eyeteeth to share, skin is by turns funny, erotic, disgusting. Mainly the story of Dr. Swan's relationship with his porn-star patient Cynthia Poole,skin has some very well-rendered and humorous flashbacks and set-pieces. A light and easy though well-written short novel, I don't hesitate to recommend it.
