LOST MEMORY OF SKIN

I ordered this novel from my library after hearing the author Russell Banks on an NPR interview.  A novel about sexual offenders who find themselves homeless with ankle bracelets living under a Causeway in Florida.  What could be more unusual for a social worker who worked for 30+ years with victims of sexual abuse to find herself reading a compelling, engaging novel  offering a different point of view?  This is a well formulated fiction asking what have we done to create this population?  For everyone who thinks pornography is not an issue...imagine being 11 years old and being left alone all day long, sometimes weeks at a time and viewing internet pornography 10 hours a day.  No sex life, no normal developmental relationships, just learning about sex and relationships through internet porn sites.  Chilling I'd say.  This is an extraordinary book.  Take it out of the library. It's free and a worthwhile experience.
