Description

Leash is a darkly humorous exploration of the masochistic impulse, revealing the urge to escape the mundanity of daily life. The story follows a young woman's journey into the world of S&M, where she finds freedom in the constraints that alienate her from her former life. With a self-referentially perverse sense of humor, this novel extends the logic of S&M to its unsettling conclusion. As she navigates the sedate dyke bars of lower Manhattan, our protagonist answers a personal ad, leading her to a blindfolded encounter with a woman known only as "Sir." The escalating constraints that follow not only separate her from her past but also from her very sense of self. Part satire, part social commentary, Leash is a provocative and thought-provoking read. First published in 2002, this novel has become a cult favorite among those who appreciate its unique blend of humor and social critique.
