Synopsis
Yanek Yanowiec is awaiting trial. He has decided to set straight the record of his life. Wracked by guilt, he knows some terrible secrets, and with Yanek himself telling the story, the truth may never be known. His need for secrecy seems even more necessary when his dead father returns to haunt him.

Review
'Dark and compelling ... a fictional autobiography of Proustian intent' -- Jewish Chronicle
'Enchanting' -- The Guardian
'Poolman keeps his reader on the rack with taut, paranoid sentences ... worthy of Nabokov ... a brilliant book' -- Daily Telegraph
From the Publisher
'Electrifying. SKIN caresses like a razor ... frightening, elusive and so well written that the phantoms Poolman summons come from deep within ourselves as much as from Janowiec's confessions' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Poolman's writing has sheer chutzpah ... an ability to keep us unbalanced and dizzy, as the narratives zig and zag, flex and buckle' SUNDAY HERALD
