Russell Banks
Acclaimed novelist Russell Banks' Lost Memory of Skin (HarperCollins, $25.99), is the story of the Kid, convicted for having sex with an underage girl and living with other sex offenders under a South Florida causeway. A university sociologist finds the Kid the perfect subject for his research on homelessness and recidivism among convicted sex offenders. But when the Professor’s past resurfaces and threatens to destroy his carefully constructed world, the balance in the two men’s relationship shifts. "Banks remains our premier chronicler of the doomed and forgotten American male," says The New York Times. Banks is the author of more than 17 books, including novels and essay, short story and poetry collections, including his novels Rule of the Bone and Affliction.
