Description: Skins is Adrian C. Louis's realistic novel of life on Pine Ridge Reservation, the story of two brothers--one a rez cop, the other an alcoholic--and their relationship with each other, with their people, with their environment.
Review Quotes: "Louis presents a picture of contemporary Native American life that is often as funny and warm as it is disturbing."
--Publishers Weekly
--Midwest Book Review "Louis's undercurrent of grittiness has made an indelible mark. Skins is the only novel that, in touching on rez life, works with the aesthetic of the real and looks unflinchingly at life as it is."
--Erika Wurth, professor of creative writing at Western Illinois University, author of White Horse "The telling [of Skins] is honest and stark, perfect for this raw and powerful tale."
--Joy Harjo, author of Poet Warrior: A Memoir
