Margaret Mascarenhas launches a fourth edition of her novel Skin Nine years after it was first published by Penguin India, the Margaret Mascarenhas widely-appreciated novel Skin came home to Goa. A new edition, its fourth and the first to be brought out locally, was released in Goa in November 2010. Skin was first published in 2001, and then in 2002 (in French by Mercure de France) and 2006 (and in Portuguese by Editora Replicao). The work -- which touches on an inter-generational story spanning the US, Goa, Africa and elsewhere -- was widely appreciated, as has been Mascarenhas' skill as a novelist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yJo_r9FZnc
