In Red Lightning: On the morning of January 10¸ 2016¸ thirty-year-old Samuel is ready to leave the house and live another day of his ordinary existence. But¸ as soon as he arrives on the street¸ he learns about David Bowie's death. The news strikes him so hard that he is stunned¸ and his are not moments of bewilderment¸ but hours¸ days¸ years¸ and centuries...he finds himself catapulted across space and time. He awakens hundreds of thousands of years later¸ in a society of the future¸ the year 200016. In Tales of the City: Anna Madrigal runs a boarding house at 28 Barbary Lane¸ San Fransico. She welcomes people who have nowhere else to go: the misfits. This matriarch is known for her unending kindness and her superb marijuana crop. The novel starts with the arrival of Mary Ann Singleton¸ a prudish¸ naive¸ young woman who escaped her dull Ohio hometown. She settles in with her other fellow tenants: Michael 'Mouse¸' a personable young gay man¸ Brian Hawkins¸ an incorrigible Don Juan¸ and Mona Ramsey¸ a young hippyish bisexual. In A Man's Skin: Tackling universal themes such as gender¸ sexuality¸ LGBTQ+¸ compassion¸ religion¸ and morality through a captivating and subtle fable¸ Hubert and Zanzim brilliantly question our relationship to gender and sexuality... but not only that. By mixing religion and sex¸ morality and humor¸ nobility and outspokenness¸ A Man's Skin invites us both to the liberation of morals and to the mad and noble quest for love.
