Dutch-born, Scottish-based writer Michael Faber wrote what I think is one of the great novels of our time, his massive, sweeping, ironic take on the Victorian novel, "The Crimson Petal and the White." I was familiar with "Under the Skin," his debut novel, from Jonathan Glazer's film, starring Scarlett Johnansson, one of last year's best (and most misunderstood) film. The book is quite a bit different and while it was an intriguing and original blend of sci-fi, horror, and social satire that recalled Huxley and Alex Garland, it didn't really come together for me. It's still well worth reading, as there's not much else like it in current fiction. But definitely see the film.
