Review: The highly anticipated second volume of Tara Burns' captivating and provocative sex work stories
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 9, 2013
I've been waiting months for this book to come out. Reading Tara Burns' stories is like looking through a magic kaleidoscope and being suddenly able to see, in clear relief, the many beautiful and contradictory layers of the human condition, all twisted together and sparkling with light and color and shadow. At some point, while reading these stories, you will forget that you are reading about sex work at all, and you will feel as though you are reading about something much, much more important, although you won't be able to name what it is, exactly. It will be a feeling that you have, and you'll finish the book, and you'll push your cat of your lap and shuffle into the kitchen to make a cup of tea, and that feeling will stay with you for days.
