Sunbathing Naked is one man's 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.

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.

Praise for Sunbathing Naked:

‘A remarkably comprehensive overview. It is amusing (no mean achievement given the subject matter) and informative. This is an amusing demonstration that absolutely any topic is suitable for non-fiction. The demand is that the author writes with warmth, humour and humanity. Kennaway does all that and more.’
