Author(s): Guy Kennaway

Health

This smart, hilarious and upbeat memoir is for anyone who has ever tried to cover up a spot, or felt their body was less than perfect.Guy Kennaway's journey from sk-innocence to experience began in childhood. Inspired by his own battle with what he calls 'the Gary Kasparov of disease', psoriasis, "Sunbathing Naked" is his quest to understand the skin we're in and why we're all so obsessed with it.From the waiting rooms of Harley Street to the naked-sunbathing terraces of the Dead Sea, Kennaway navigates a multitude of cures for the incurable, telling his own provocative tale alongside the stories of a riotous identity-parade of doctors, quacks, patients and the smooth-skinned few that he meets along the way.
