Nothing But My Body

This is a love letter to friendship. I want you to write it on me in ink and then press me against the pages, your personal printing press.

Nothing But My Body is an eight-day journey through the mind of a young woman, a queer sex worker in Australia, as she navigates breakups and infatuation across thirteen months. The unnamed narrator’s voice is both fierce and vulnerable, defiant and tender, as she explores the interplay between her external and internal world, and the fluctuations of her emotions and mental health as love affairs intensify and wane. Her lows are assuaged by her beloved chosen family—her friends—and by the comfort she takes from the natural world.

This stunning, unflinching and lyrical debut is a reckoning with the body as both abject and joyous, a rejection of romantic love, and a euphoric celebration of queerness and community.

‘An absolute knockout. Lawless writes with such fresh determination and joy’ BRI LEE

‘Dirty, smutty, tender and beautiful . . . A must-read that will remind you of all the most joyful times of your life while holding you through the pain of the tougher ones. A true gift’ NEVO ZISIN
