by Sergio del Molino (Author)

Sergio del Molino nos lleva a un territorio que nos pertenece a todos: la piel.
El autor de La España vacía vuelve para hacer que nos miremos como nunca lo habíamos hecho.

ENTRE LOS DIEZ MEJORES LIBROS DE 2020 SEGÚN EL CORREO

«Sergio del Molino es el más joven de todos, pero tiene tanto a sus espaldas que parece el mayor. De dónde saca su capacidad de erudición y su inteligencia? Es un misterio. La piel es su último libro, un texto híbrido lleno de historias deslumbrantes y de literatura adictiva. -Luisge Martín

«Tendrá que hacer como yo: mirar a los demás para evitar mirarse a sí mismo.

Los monstruos existen y se pasean entre nosotros, quizá seamos nosotros mismos. Este es el punto de partida de la nueva obra de Sergio del Molino, un viaje que esta vez nos enseña a mirar hacia el territorio más común y a la vez el más individual: la piel humana. Una grave psoriasis, que llena el cuerpo de costras y hace imposible mostrar la desnudez, le sirve al narrador para analizar la vida de diversos personajes conocidos que han sufrido las consecuencias de la mala piel. La vergüenza de sentirse observado y la necesidad de ocultarse, la cultura de la imagen y de la hipermedicalización, el racismo y el clasismo son paradas de este viaje por los secretos que cubrimos con la ropa y que hacen de nuestra piel una frontera con el mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Sergio del Molino takes us to a territory that belongs to everyone: skin. The author of La España vacía / Empty Spain is back to help us look upon one another like never before.

AMONG THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF 2020, ACCORDING TO EL CORREO.

"Sergio del Molino is the youngest of all, but he has so much on him, he seems older. Where does he get his erudition and brilliance? It is a mystery. Skin, his last work, is a hybrid book, filled with dazzling stories and addictive literature."--Luisge Martín

"He will have to do as I: look at others to avoid looking at himself."

Monsters exist and walk among us. Maybe we are the monsters. This is the starting point for Sergio del Molino's new book, a journey that will help us observe the most common and yet the most individual territory, human skin. The narrator uses a serious psoriasis, a body covered with scabs that make nudity impossible to show, to analyze the life of several known characters that have suffered the consequences of bad skin. The shame of feeling observed and the need to hide. The culture of image and hyper-medicalization. Racism and classism. All stops along this journey through the secrets we cover up with garments, making our skin a sort of border to the world.
