I'll Look So Hot in a Coffin: And Other Thoughts I Used to Have About My Body
Description
A sharp, darkly funny collection of essays and reflections, this book traces how Carla Sosenko learned to live inside the stories she was told about her body—and the ones she told herself in return. Moving through moments of desire, shame, aging, and self-invention, she follows the emotional logic behind everything from dieting and scrutiny to the fantasies we reach for when we feel trapped by appearance. With candor and wit, the book explores body image as a cultural script, asking what it means to reclaim agency when the gaze never fully lets go. Part memoir, part cultural critique, Sosenko’s distinctive voice blends intimacy with insight, offering both recognition and a way forward.
