I had a real romance with this book.
Tonight I\'m Someone Else is a fresh, poetic debut from an exciting emerging voice, in which Hodson asks, How much can a body endure? And the resounding answer: Almost everything..
Hodson\'s accumulation within each piece is purposeful, and her prose vivid, clear, and sometimes even shocking, as she explores the wonderful and strange forms of desire.
Both tender and jarring, this collection is relevant to anyone who\'s ever searched for what the self is worth.
Starting with Hodson\'s own work experience, which ranges from the mundane to the bizarre--including modeling and working on a NASA Mars mission-- Hodson expands outward, looking at the ways in which the human will submits, whether in the marketplace or in a relationship.
She asks what our privacy, our intimacy, and our own bodies are worth in the increasingly digital world of liking, linking, and sharing.
From graffiti gangs and Grand Theft Auto to sugar daddies, Schopenhauer, and a deadly game of Russian roulette, in these essays, Chelsea Hodson probes her own desires to examine where the physical and the proprietary collide. --Miranda July A highly anticipated collection, from the writer Maggie Nelson has called, bracingly good...refreshing and welcome, that explores the myriad ways in which desire and commodification intersect.
