A review by kpkulski
Dermaphoria by Craig Clevenger

5.0

Sometimes I read a book and it's the story that stands out, or even the characters, but in Dermaphoria it is the author who stands out and Clevenger is right there on every page. His observations are so damn sharp. I never wanted to read quickly over a sentence in case I missed a brilliant tidbit. For me, this book isn't just about the character, or about what is or is not real, it was about how we all formulate our ideas of reality and then act accordingly and how much power the people around us have in influencing that idea of reality.
This is a gritty and personally enriching work that doesn't pull any punches.
