À propos de cet audio

An electrifying and vulnerable memoir that invites listeners into an intimate conversation about our digital and physical selves, gender, and belonging.

In My Body Is Distant, Paige Maylott writes about her life—both virtual and IRL—as she explores her authentic self and sexuality through dream-like virtual worlds. While Paige dances in online BDSM clubs and hurls spells on virtual battlefields, she is swept into a fairy tale romance that pushes her into discovery mode: How can she transcend her carefully curated computer universe and manifest that happiness in the real world?

As she discovers the person she is meant to be, Paige contends with a cancer diagnosis and an imploding marriage while struggling to convert an online love story into reality. When a humiliation at work provides the necessary push to transition, Paige finds the freedom to explore her new self.

Part trans woman’s coming-out story and part heartfelt romance, My Body Is Distant follows Paige from a childhood obsession with the 1980s game Zork, through a health crisis and divorce, to, ultimately, an affirmation of authenticity and self-love.

Ce que les critiques en disent

My Body Is Distant is a trans coming out story like no other. Beautifully crafted, propulsive and by turns heartbreaking and funny, Paige Maylott offers us a guided tour of gaming communities and virtual romance, and how they can create collisions and liberation in real life.”—Farzana Doctor, author of Seven and You Still Look the Same

My Body Is Distant is an odyssey through the pain of bodily betrayal, but it’s also a search for wholeness and refuge, both inside and out, and a testament to the healing powers of the imagination. An incandescently honest portrayal that glitters with raw emotion.”—Charlotte Gill, author of Almost Brown

An honest and powerful journey

Paige takes us through her quest of self-discovery through the themes of cancer, cyber-reality and transition, in a way that allows us to live, feel and understand what she's been through.

A poignant book about relationships - with friends, with partners and with herself. A deep dive that made me think.

Thank you, Paige, for shinning your light on the world with your memoir.
