"More than a polemic against work (though it is a very good one) The Tricking Hour is a meditation on what it means to process the world through your body; to feel life-love, loss, pain, ecstasy-to the fullest extent possible, all while knowing that your body is not (only) yours to control, that people with immense power get to dictate how you use your body, and thus how you experience the world. Silt writes compellingly about the issues facing sex workers, but their lessons about autonomy and pleasure under capitalism apply to all of us." - P.E. Moskowitz

"These essays constitute a carefully and beautifully formed nebula of revolutionary thought and praxis. Silt's gorgeous synthesis is led by both righteous anger and gestures of deep care, born and fostered in spaces, booths, and backrooms both inconspicuous and flatly public. To encounter this missive is to encounter one of the truest manifestations of learn- ing and living life past capital, past work's totaling reach, and into a life centered around love." - Ryan Skrabalak
