Description
Charlotte Shane's memoir offers a rigorous and compelling exploration of what it means to be a heterosexual woman in a misogynistic society. Through her experiences as a sex worker, she examines the complexities of male lust, love, and social capital, revealing a poignant love story that is also a searing indictment of habitual dishonesty. Shane's unsparing honesty and personal history are woven together to reveal the struggles men and women face in their attempts at romantic and sexual bonding. Her candid tale spans relationships with clients, family members, friends, and her own husband, offering a haunting and moving exploration of love, marriage, and infidelity. This memoir is a powerful affirmation of the possibility for true connection between men and women, braiding the personal and universal to create a work that is both merciless and moving.
