About ALEXANDER GENIS. "The Skin of Time". Book Presentation in New York
On September 23, Alexander Genis — writer, essayist, literary critic, journalist, and radio host — is back as our guest at «Bely Krolik». This time we will talk about the book «The Skin of Time», which was recently republished by Freedom Letters.
«The Skin of Time» is a collection of brilliant essays about a world that changes faster than a person can comprehend it. Memory and the internet, aging and technology, loneliness and mass culture — for Alexander Genis, any topic becomes a reason to catch the nerve of the era and understand what is happening to us here and now.
Combining intellectual precision, subtle irony, and a rare gift for speaking about the complex with ease and engagement, Genis creates a remarkably accurate portrait of our time.
«The hardest thing of all is to see, hear, look, feel, notice, catch and pin to paper what is real. Everyone has it in plain sight, and yet, precisely because of that, it is not always noticeable — it turns us into contemporaries and leaves marks on the skin. Like a tattoo». Alexander Genis
This meeting will be especially warm also because almost exactly a year ago — on September 24, 2025 — Alexander Genis was already our guest. At that time, he was presenting the upcoming fifth anniversary edition of his books in a new author's revision. A year has passed and once again we are eagerly and with bated breath awaiting the meeting.
The participation fee is $20. Please note that our venue is quite small and the number of seats is limited. Please purchase tickets in advance to secure your spot.
