Lovers XXX

內容簡介

內容簡介 Set against the neon-lit porn world of 1980s Los Angeles, a raw and evocative portrait of sex, friendship, and the perilous edge of liberation for two young women--from the author of Aesthetica. For fans of Mary Gaitskill, Emma Cline, and Rachel Kushner. Los Angeles, 1982. Jude is eighteen, newly out of reform school and hungry for more than her small-town past can offer. Searching for her best friend, Winnie, she instead falls under the spell of Laird, an older man with a motorcycle, a needle, and a taste for danger. What begins as escape soon unravels into motel rooms, stickups, and drug binges. Then Jude finds Winnie, reinvented as Velvet at a Sunset Strip club. Together, the two girls imagine a future: bartending, dancing, writing the novels they dream of, building a home of their own. But the same world that promises glamour and freedom is poised to consume them, and survival demands that they navigate the men who offer love, power, and escape--always at a cost. With Joan Didion's eye for California's allure and shadows, and told in a two-part structure reminiscent of Lauren Groff's Fates and Furies, Lovers XXX is a hypnotic novel of friendship and self-invention, of sexual identity beyond binaries, and of the costs of giving one's body to the performance of sex. Above all, it is a love story like no other--between two ardent, vulnerable, and revelatory women.
