Summary:
A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • This magisterial, intimate look at Black womanhood 'follows three women whose various traumas haunt them literally and metaphorically, as it explores what it means to be a Black woman in America today' (The New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice).
A middle-aged woman feed slots at a secret back-room parlor. A new mother descends into a devastating postpartum depression, wracked with the fear that she is unable to protect her children. A daughter returns home to join the other women in her family waging spiritual combat with the ghosts of their past.
An Autobiography of Skin is a dazzling and masterful portrait of interconnected generations in the South from a singular new voice, offering a raw and tender view into the interior lives of Black women. It is at once a powerful look at how experiences are carried inside the body, inside the flesh and skin, and a joyous testament to how healing can be found within—in love, mercy, gratitude, and freedom.
