The Man With No Skin

"Orfhlaith Ni Chonaill puts the reader in the center of the world as it now exists: raw and breathtakingly beautiful; violent and unutterably tender.The Man With No Skin will change you. Ordinary lives in Africa today 簿聶翻- a black gardener, a white `Mama', an Irish priest, a black African woman - here become a tapestry before which we see our own skins, and what they signify in a world of AIDS and other terrors. Between the Christian god and Ngai, the god of the mountain, Ni Chonaill allows us to find our own way toward something like revelation."
