AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SKIN by Lakiesha Carr published this week to critical acclaim. The book received a fantastic review from The New York Times, where Ladee Hubbard writes: "Powerful and timely…It is a testament to Carr’s power as a writer that she is able to so clearly represent these aspects of her characters’ experiences with such intimacy and honesty. In that sense, the book is an admission of the fact that, for all the changes that have occurred in our society over the past 100 years, many Black people, both men and women, are still processing the trauma and violence caused by their body’s simultaneous hypervisibility and erasure.” AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SKIN was also featured on Lit Hub’s "11 New Books to Read Right Now," and Carr was profiled in the Houston Chronicle, which praises the book as a “graceful” debut. Pantheon published the book on February 28, 2023.
