Description

In this story about love as second skin, Mortier remains true to the perspective of his dazzling debut, Marcel, looking at the world through the eyes of an observant and impressionable young boy, Anton.

As he grows up, each tentative step on the path to adulthood brings knowledge, understanding and responsibility.

He finds solace in a friendship with Willem and believes he has found a way to deal with his increasingly uneasy relationship with life.

But this bond introduces a new emotional hurdle for Anton, an awakening love that gives him his own identity and envelops him like a skin.

The subtlety with which Mortier describes a young man's experiences and feelings makes this an extraordinarily touching tale, a tender story of love, innocence and protection, and of painful loneliness when things fall apart. 'This is a Bildungsroman which is related to much European literature from Proust and Mann onwards... peculiarly unforgettable' AS Byatt, Guardian 'A sparkling novel with a thunderous effect [...] a Flemish song of truth and semblance' Vrij Nederland
