The skin is more than a covering: it is memory, it is desire and it is also a wound. In Autobiografía de la Piel (Alfaguara, 2025), Ana Clavel (CDMX, 1961) explores this sensorial and symbolic territory, turning it into a metaphor for existence. Through essays, stories and poetry, the author addresses the skin as the first and last limit of the body, a space of pleasure, tenderness, but also of violence and transgression.
