In her incisive debut, New Skin, Sarah Wang mixes a heady cocktail of unattainable beauty standards, assimilation, and the poison of the American dream with a splash of body horror.

Setting a mother-daughter relationship in its sights and a lot of botched plastic surgery, fans of 2024’s cult favourite The Substance will love this genre-busting ride of a book.

Colm Tóibín calls the novel ‘intense, engaging, original, and hilarious’ – join him in conversation with Wang today.
