My Corpse Inside reads like a 200-page slingshot, whipping from Kristeva to Angelspit, 2 Girls 1 Cup to Althusser, Michael Brown to Japanese Technohorror, all the while nakedly processing the author's own abuse. Ultimately, Jamison explores the body, the disembodied, the other-bodied, and our delicate agency that laces them. This book is more dexterous than anything I've read in years. How queer, indeed. -- Miah Jeffra * author of The Violence Almanac * Jamison has woven a fascinating, troubling, utterly revealing text of our contemporary landscape of screens, erotics, power, and violence. -- Marco Wilkinson * author of Madder: A Memoir in Weeds * Sharply intelligent and deeply compassionate, My Corpse Inside compels us to look at what we often turn away from: the complexities of the body and language, sex and violence, death and belonging. Here is a mind that’s wide open, an intellect that pulls us in, a gaze that won’t be put off but keeps searching – relentlessly, brilliantly, acutely – for answers. -- Randon Billings Noble * author of A Harp in the Stars and Be with Me Always * My Corpse Inside lifts the visceral skin of desire, and beneath it—right under the dermis of our insecurity, the sticky film of sex and erotics—shines a new non-fiction: gasping and ball-gagged, shocking, consensual. -- Lily Hoang * author of A Bestiary and Changing *
