Soft cover. Condition: Good. Paperback. Some minor underlining in pencil. Second Skin is a lyrical, difficult but ultimately rewarding novel. It focuses on Skipper, the narrator, who simply tries to survive a series of life tragedies ranging from being the victim of a mutiny to losing his wife and daughter to suicide. To say these things is not to give away the plot. Because Skipper does not tell his story in a linear fashion, we know what will happen from the beginning. The pleasure is in listening to the narrative voice tell his "naked history" (as Skipper calls it). John Hawkes is an under-appreciated writer and a brilliant prose stylist. For anyone who loves to read beautiful sentences, this book is highly recommended.
Condition: Good. Good condition. Paperback edition. Slightly dampstained.
