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.
