Skin Lane
by Neil Bartlett
It’s a very unusual novel, a gay novel. Neil is an activist, a gay writer, a playwright, and also the director of the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith, and he has written a number of novels and plays. This novel is about a 50-year-old man who doesn’t know anything about his sexuality. And the subtlety with which Neil tells about this man’s bemused discovery of his sexuality through his relationship with his nephew is very beautiful.
