Confesiones de una Top Model travesti

An incendiary and lucid autobiography in which the author—a performer, pop icon, and survivor of her own excesses—reconstructs her adolescence and youth through a torrential monologue that blends humor, trauma, desire, sex, identity, and pop sociology. The book traces her story: a childhood marked by bullying, being overweight, and identity confusion; an adolescence spent in Magaluf amidst drunken tourists, nightclubs, and an early-blooming awareness of the spectacle; and the birth of the persona Samantha Hudson, who would go on to become an accidental viral phenomenon. It combines her personal history with an intimate essay exploring heartbreak, sexual and romantic relationships, abuse, gay culture, hypersexualization, capitalism, loneliness, gender identity, and romantic expectations.
