Whore of New York: A Confession

by: Liara Roux

£7.99 – £12.99

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: A Confession is a candid study of artistic awakening, and both spiritual and sexual growth after abuse, seen through the eyes of a proud outsider.

Stoya

“While Liara tells her own story, she represents aspects of the stories of so many sex workers who’ve had overlapping experiences. A gripping and smooth read — each paragraph included for a reason.”

Saskia Vogel, author of Permission

“Whore of New York is a vibrant portrait of young life at the intersection of pleasure, politics, and personal growth. With a clear view of political, social and economic realities, Roux is doing important work in her portrayal of sex work not as apart from life in general, but as a part of life as a whole. Complex, raw, intimate.”

Vogue

“An incendiary new memoir … it’s an account of sex work that focuses on the actual experience of the person doing the working rather than employing the same old, one-dimensional tropes.”

New York Times

“Liara Roux writes with an intimate, anthropological eye about her experiences as a sex worker … an original reflection on joy, anguish, sex, love and labor.”
