<p>Salacious, funny, and painfully emotive, <i>Skin</i> is a provocative and ruminative parable about our deep-rooted urge to ostracize the freakish and shun the disfigured among us. An unconventional love story, Bowman probes the surface to reveal deeper, more lingering impulses connected to desire, understanding, and love. It is only on very extraordinary occasions when beauty and the beast get together, but they do here. <i>Skin</i> is a cutting and startling debut novel.</p>

<p>Praise for <i>Skin</i>:</p>

<p>"Vancouver writer Bowman's prose has a light, tripping quality and a tone of gleeful gruesomeness." (Anne Fleming, <i>The Georgia Straight</i>)</p>

<p>"If <i>Skin</i> was filmed, there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house ... though most would be tears of laughter." (John Moore, <i>The Vancouver Sun</i>)</p>
