Cartilage and Skin has it all: a fast-paced narrative, cool language, downtrodden characters, and addictive intrigue. Rizza writes with dark high-energy and philosophical flair about his nervous anti-hero on a self-destructive quest. The story shifts with every page, never losing momentum, always surprising us. Fascinating, ferocious reading."-Deb Olin Unferth, in awarding the Starcherone Innovative Fiction PrizeAn urban, brainy thriller that keeps us turning pages via a narrator both seductive and strange and a plot that ever shifts back on itself. This is a world of philosophy and violence, voyeurism and doubt, guilt and intrigue." | Cartilage and Skin by Michael James Rizza, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
