Biografier
• This Is My Real Name is a memoir that honors stripping as a form of sex work (i. e. , work), following other Arsenal books that center sex work such as Hustling Verse: An Anthology of Sex Workers’ Poetry and Amber Dawn’s memoir How Poetry Saved My Life.
• Cid V Brunet spent ten years working strip clubs in small-town and big-city Canada, from small venues to large establishments. While she (as “Michelle”) and their friends must navigate misogyny from both clients and bosses, as well as the harm from mental health struggles and drug/alcohol abuse, they find solace and support in each other.
• In Cid’s own words: “The memoir is actively pro sex workers. It respects characters’ choices, tackles difficult and taboo subjects, and uses honesty and personal experience to combat the shame and stigma that sex workers face … I wanted to write this book in order to demystify one aspect of sex work (stripping). I do not intend to speak for all sex workers, or to make blanket statements about the profession. I want to speak to my own unique journey and to the observations I’ve made along the way. ”
• Cid will participate in online launches with bookstores.
