About this listen

A thought-provoking, discomforting and beautiful novel about love, obsession, community and friendship.

Nothing But My Body is an eight day journey through a young woman's mind, a queer sex worker in Australia, as she navigates through break ups and infatuation across a year.

Set during the bushfire season of 2019 and into the coronavirus pandemic, sex work is the constant backdrop of the story as it moves between Sydney, Berlin, Orange and Bellingen. Exploring the interplay between your external and internal world, the fluctuations of mental health and the way in which emotions shape the pace of your thoughts, ultimately it is a rejection of romantic love, celebration of queer community and a reckoning with the body as both abject and joyous.

Such a different perspective on a topic I'd rarely heard about. Her writing is beautiful, spiralling from the gritty present to esoteric, lavishly written digressions and tangents. such a talent, and such a love for Australia.

If I had any of the talent Tilly does for writing I’d write a wonderfully poetic review, but there are no combinations of praise I know that will do this book any justice! More books please Tilly! The world would be better for it xx

Just beautiful!

I worked as a sensual masseuse in new Zealand. Although I don't share as many negative parts of sex work, maybe because I was always ''on top' of the person while massaging and didn't let people enter me, I do realte on many levels. This book is so brave and real, your thoughts have such depth, they touch me. I couldn't wait to continue listening to you. thank you!
