AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SKIN by Lakiesha Carr
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SKIN by Lakiesha Carr received a starred Publishers Weekly Review: "By tracing the characters’ complex bonds, Carr underscores the power of community and kinship among Black women who find a way to be vulnerable and joyful in a world that too often charges them with the role of caretakers. This exploration of love, courage, and desire is not to be missed." The novel also received a fabulous review from Kirkus: “Whether seen as a novel or three novellas linked by overlapping characters, Carr’s debut is by turns eloquent and raw, fantastical and realistic…With vivid writing and characters, Carr's debut is sometimes brutal or sentimental, always passionate, never boring.” Pantheon will publish the novel on February 28, 2023.
