A piercing and provocative debut about the myth of beauty and assimilation in modern day America, told through the lense of a tumultous mother-daugther relationship.

'Horror, crime, and coming-of-age . . . inventive and brilliant' - Chris Kraus

'A page-turner that feels equal parts cinematic romp and serrated analysis of the most important issues of our day' - Maggie Nelson

'Intense, engaging, original and hilarious' - Colm Tóibín

When Linli Feng returns home to LA after a three-year absence, she is shocked to find her mother, Fanny, unrecognizable. In her endless quest to achieve the ‘right’ kind of beauty, Fanny has spent the intervening years having bargain procedures in basement beauty parlours.

But even as Linli tries to wean Fanny off her addiction, Fanny has another secret in store. She has won a spot on America’s Beauty Extreme, a reality television competition in which botched plastic surgery addicts compete for reconstructive surgery.

In Linli's attempt to rescue her mother from the sinister subculture that has claimed her face, she must at last confront the corrosive reality of the American dream at the heart of their relationship.

批評家のレビュー

Sarah Wang’s New Skin is a marvel. Mirthfully and mercilessly abject, New Skin is a page-turner that feels equal parts cinematic romp and serrated analysis of some of the most important issues of our day: immigration, assimilation, debt, intergenerational suffering, self-immolation, and the possibilities for repair. A truly original debut from a seriously intelligent writer (Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts)
New Skin offers a brilliantly dark account of a mother and her daughter locked in a relationship with each other and the wider world that no amount of surgery can cure. Sarah Wang’s novel is intense, engaging, original and hilarious (Colm Tóibín, bestselling author of Brooklyn and Long Island)
Horror, crime, and coming-of-age genres collide wildly in Sarah Wang’s inventive and brilliant debut novel. Completely engaging, surprising and beautifully written (Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick and The Four Spent the Day Together)
New Skin holds almost all of womanhood: impossible beauty standards, the inverted mother–daughter bond, and an adulthood rooted in the endless negotiation between obligation and shared trauma. This dynamite book is unsparing and darkly funny. It asks why does leaving often mean staying, and why does self-preservation so often become self-destruction? (Weike Wang, PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author of Chemistry)
