You know who you are. And if you are one or just curious about the lifestyle, I highly recommend you buy it from your local indie bookstore or borrow it from ur fellow slut. A collection of slutitude of all kinds. I was thoroughly ravished by this book. Extra points if you read it on the train/bus/park to share your promiscuity with the world.
Although released in 2004, this fiction novel has a tonne of early internet feel to it. Taking place entirely through chat forums and reviews on gay escort sites, the story follows peopleās stories and reviews of an elusive escort. Iāll warn you, itās some of the most horrifyingly graphic stuff youāll read but, I adore how it uses the internets lack of trust to its advantage- constantly throwing the reader and the characters off the scent of an ever expanding story of half truths and blatant lies. Genuinely one of my favourite books and I still donāt really understand why.
i read this first the summer between highschool and college and it changed something for me. it's made up of little snippets into the lives of people, sometimes not all the loose ends were tied up but it felt real. it was reflective and I've passed it along to my younger cousins as they navigate the worlds of dating and sex and others perceptions of their personal lives. the reviews are absolutely polarizing but if you're willing to read that doesnt directly tell you how to feel but makes you linger with the emotions that come up this one might be for you
This novel from 1992 is being reissued by New Directions in May, and it is hilarious, very sad, and constantly teetering on the brink of being genuinely offensive. But it isnāt offensive! It depicts the fraught, competitive, and co-dependent relationship between gay men and women in a way that not many writers of either group have been able to pull off. I donāt know that many writers at all have attempted to depict this relationship as a primary goal in their textsāit does come up as a consequence of other plots and themesābut thatās what this book is āabout.ā I was going to add one of my favorite lines from the book here, but out of context it does indeed seem offensive, even if I promise itās narrated from the perspective of an Emma Bovary character, so you just have to get the book and see for yourself.
THIS IS REAL!!! Feeble little horse continues to push the boundaries of their sound, this track really knows how to keep you on your toes in the perfect way.
