From her abuse at the hands of a family member to her present-day life in Barcelona, where she briefly moonlighted as a dubber of Italian pornography into English, Matthews reveals herself to be a darkly funny, deeply contemporary woman with a keen awareness of how her body has been routinely hijacked, and how she has been ?formatted\" by her early trauma. Her story is a study of her uneasy relationships with female desire, her tormentors, and her lovers?with whom she seeks out both the infliction and receipt of harm. This book is an attempt, sometimes self-thwarted, to break down barriers: sexual and emotional for Matthews, literary for Shields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor them, the only response to the unspeakable is to speak, to do that thing you do with your mouth, as directly and honestly as possible. Their provocative performance refuses neat resolution or emotional pornography; it will have readers, from literary critics to \u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e commentators, raving, raging, celebrating, talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Shields\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of twenty books, including \u003ci\u003eReality Hunger\u003c\/i\u003e (named one of the best books of 2010 by more than thirty publications); \u003ci\u003eThe Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead\u003c\/i\u003e (a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller); \u003ci\u003eBlack Planet\u003c\/i\u003e (a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award); and, forthcoming over the next year, \u003ci\u003eWar Is Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e (powerHouse Books) and \u003ci\u003eOther People\u003c\/i\u003e (Knopf). \u003ci\u003eI Think You're Totally Wrong: A Quarrel\u003c\/i\u003e, co-written by Caleb Powell and published by Knopf in January 2015, has been adapted by James Franco into a film that premiered in April 2015 at Vancouver's DOXA documentary film festival.
