Publisher's Synopsis
Liara
Roux is accustomed to being mislabelled and misunderstood.
As a child, Liara's inquisitive, instinctive, and rebellious nature was frequently problematised in a world designed around the requirements of their neurotypical, cis, heterosexual male colleagues. Coming of age in an oppressively restrictive home, they shuffled tarot and explored self portraiture to rationalise the injustice of chronic pain, toxic lovers, and the cruel silence of divinity.
Critiquing capitalism's mechanisms of exploitation, the
conservatism of Western medicine, and the politics surrounding sex work, Whore of New York: Confessions of a Sinful Woman
is a candid study of artistic awakening, and both
spiritual and sexual growth after abuse, seen through the eyes of a proud outsider.
