Skye Papers is an imaginative, episodic group portrait of an art scene spearheaded by people of colour - and of the fraught, dystopian reality of increasing state surveillance.

Originally published in 1861 in the Atlantic Monthly, 'Life in the Iron Mills' remains a classic of proletarian literature that paints a bleak and incisive portrait of nineteenth-century industrial America.
