Produktbeschreibung
From the author of "Affliction" and "Cloudsplitter" is the story of The Kid; a young sex offender recently released from prison and forced to live beneath a South Florida causeway in an incisive understanding of the dangerous contradictions and hypocrisies of modern America.
After doing time for a liaison with an underage girl, the Kid is forbidden to live within 2,500 feet of anywhere children might gather. Barely beyond childhood himself, the Kid is in many ways an innocent, trapped by impulses and choices he struggles to comprehend. Enter the Professor, a man who has built his own life on secrets and lies. The two men forge a tentative partnership, but when the Professor's past resurfaces, the balance in the two men's relationship shifts. Suddenly, the Kid must reconsider all he has come to believe, and make a fateful choice when faced with a new kind of moral decision. A mature and masterful work of contemporary fiction from one of our most accomplished storytellers, Lost Memory of Skin explores the zeitgeist of a troubled society where zero tolerance has erased any hope of subtlety and compassion?a society where isolating the offender has perhaps created a new kind of victim.
