Under The Skin by Michel Faber should not really work. The book only has one central idea, and one character who is three-dimensional. So much of the central idea is hackneyed, it is a wonder this novel works at all. But Faber has pulled it off – to his credit. Faber’s talent is self-evident in this strange and captivating novel. He is able to take shop-worn tools and make them work.
