Description

At 47, Mr. F's life is governed by calm precision and routine on London's Skin Lane. However, he starts to experience frightening recurring nightmares that leave him unsettled. The images in his dreams are disturbing and unclear, with no apparent connection to his waking life. As the summer of 1967 heats up, Mr. F's nightmare becomes an all-consuming obsession. A chance encounter adds a face to the body that haunts his nights, drawing him into a terrifying labyrinth of emotions. This is a story that explores rage, desire, and shame, set against the backdrop of a now-lost London. Part fairy-tale and part evocative portrait of a bygone era, Skin Lane is Neil Bartlett's most intense novel yet, marked by its cruelty, eroticism, and tenderness.
