As Anton grows up each tentative step on the path to adulthood brings knowledge, understanding and responsibility. Through the eyes of this impressionable and observant young boy, we witness the loss of innocence as he comes to terms with time's passing and inevitable death. He finds solace in his friendship with Willem and believes he has found a way to deal with his increasingly uneasy relationship with life. But this bond with Willem introduces a new emotional hurdle for Anton, an awakening love that gives him his own identity and envelops him like a skin. The subtlety with which Mortier describes a young man's experiences and feelings makes this an extraordinarily touching tale. But far from being a desolate novel, My Fellow Skin is a tender story of love, innocence and protection, and of painful loneliness when things fall apart.… (mais)

Mijn tweede huid is the second novel of Erwin Mortier. Like his first, very short novel, or novella, Marcel, and several of his subsequent novels, Mijn tweede huid is about his youth and his family. It is a coming of age novel, but the sentiment is very suppressed and understated. Like with some of Mortier's other works, it seems as if his focus is on life in the village in that era, or, as in some of his other books, on the mother, or on the family. Although homosexuality is a motive in the novel, it is not the maoin focus, and is subdued. It is almost as if Mortier is trying to avoid writing about sexuality. By putting the focus on traditional life in Belgium, village life, family life, or particular family members, notably the mother, his work falls into a clear Belgian style of writing, closely related to the work of Eric de Kuyper.

It seems as if Erwin Mortier remains shy to give homosexuality a more central place in his work. Mortier could easily be like the French author Philippe Besson, as is shown by Morrier's novel De spiegelingen.

Many of Erwin Mortier's works have been translated into English. ( )

Ik dacht verkeerdelijk dat dit een recent werk van Mortier was, maar het blijkt pas zijn 2de worp (gepubliceerd in 2000), na zijn debuut Marcel. En dat is er ook aan te merken. De thematiek – een coming of age-verhaal – is nauw verwant met het debuut, en de omgeving waarin het zich afspeelt – het Vlaamse platteland in de jaren 1970 ook. Mortier is duidelijk ook nog altijd zijn stijl aan het zoeken: hij experimenteert met de voor hem zo typische woordkunst en dat is nu eens erg geslaagd, dan weer enorm banaal of gewoon te gezocht. Nieuw is de zinnelijkheids-thematiek, een aankondiging van de focus op de worsteling met de homoseksuele geaardheid die in Mortier 's latere werk centraal zal komen te staan. Het verhaal eindigt op een bijzonder knullige manier. Dus wat mij betreft, niet erg geslaagd. ( )

Anton groeit op in een huis met ongetrouwde tantes en een ongetrouwde oom, en zijn ouders. Later komt een neef die iets ouder is, bij hen wonen omdat zijn moeder opgenomen moet worden. Vlak daarna gaan ze naar de middelbare school. Anton en zijn neef hebben weinig gemeen. Op school komt hij in de klas met Willem die is blijven zitten. Willem heeft een streepje voor bij de paters/leraren, omdat zijn vader architect is en wel eens een schenking doet. Anton en Willem krijgen een verhouding, al wordt dat niet met zoveel woorden aangegeven en hangen ze het niet aan de grote klok. Aan het eind van de vakantie zullen ze gaan studeren en er zijn al kamers gehuurd in dezelfde stad. Dan komt Willem om bij een verkeersongeval en Anton is weer alleen.
