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 Prize
An 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.
