«La piel» is a narrative essay by Sergio del Molino, published by Alfaguara in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the psoriasis he suffers from, the narrator reflects on the skin as a frontier with the world: the shame of feeling observed, the need to hide, and the fear of showing oneself as one is. Through historical and literary figures such as Stalin, Nabokov, or Escobar, he addresses the culture of image, hyper-medicalisation, racism, and classism.
The book was published on 28 May 2020 within Alfaguara's Hispánica collection.
For readers of narrative essays and of Sergio del Molino's work, particularly those who have followed La España vacía.
