Skin
Autor Catherine Bushen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 apr 2025
In Skin, Catherine Bush plunges into the vortex of all that shapes us. Summoning relationships between the human and more-than-human, she explores a world where touch and intimacy are both desirable and fraught.
Ranging from the realistic to the speculative, Bush’s stories tackle the condition of our restless, unruly world amidst the tumult of viruses, climate change, and ecological crises. Here, she brings to life unusual and perplexing intimacies: a man falls in love with the wind; a substitute teacher’s behaviour with a student brings unforeseen risks; a woman becomes fixated on offering foot washes to strangers.
Bold, vital, and unmistakably of the moment, Skin gives a charged and animating voice to the question of how we face the world and how, in the process, we discover tenderness and allow ourselves to be transformed.

Recenzii
“Catherine Bush asks the most daring question, How do we connect? Not only with those close to us, but with strangers, the natural world, and a climate crisis. The characters in these stories make a bold reach across a void — I loved what I found on the other side, a collection that is incredibly tender, tumultuous, and touching.”
“Skin is an intimate collection of stories that reveal people at their most vulnerable and their most dangerous. Subtle, stinging, and beautifully observed, the title story still has its grip on my heart.”
“Deftly woven through a thematic tapestry of surfaces and skin, these stories are memorable, riveting, and seismic. Catherine Bush pens tender anthems of verboten intimacy and familial survival, earth and flesh and glacial being. These expertly crafted stories are held together by exquisite narrative tensions, each a precious, rare jewel. This book will make you rethink this world, peel back its many skins.”
“Skin dives under the surface of relationships, revealing hidden streams of desire, longing, pain, and deliverance. In successive stories that are penetrating and absorbing, Catherine Bush also explores how we are deepening our love affair, in this time of climate storms and glacier melt, with the more-than-human world. A mysterious tenderness animates these stories. They ache for what we love. A brave and haunting book.”
“Skin is a haunting and beautifully crafted collection that solidifies Catherine Bush’s reputation as a writer of immense talent. Her ability to navigate the subtleties of human emotion and interaction makes this book a rewarding and thought-provoking read.”
“Readers of Skin, take heed: this is one to be considered, savoured and celebrated.”
“There is a tenderness in these stories, not drenched in sentimentality, but constructed on a real, human foundation. Skin is at once fresh and vibrant while being a culmination of decades of practice and craft.”
“In the footsteps of Mavis Gallant and Alice Munro, Bush carries the torch of Canadian fiction. From novella to shorter tales, she besieges skin to expose the kin and kindness within.”
“The stories in Skin range from the brilliant opening novella . . . to flash-length fiction set in genres as wide-ranging as contemporary slice of life, speculative climate fiction, and Regency-era romance. Bush links these spheres with an unflinching lens trained on intimacy, both romantic and platonic, built on the fragility of human experience.”
