Under the fucking skin. A whore and her hotel room door
Isserley, the heroine of Michel Faber’s Under the Skin tells a truly intimate story of her body: inter-species flesh, blood, cumbersome breasts, inconvenient sexual drives, stray hairs, skin, disappointment, vulnerability and humour. She tells a story of her sometimes terrifying and perfunctory capture of men, while revealing the failure of her skin to cover the truth of her body. This is an achievement that accounts of sexuality and of the city rarely manage.
