Beschreibung
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. Eighteen-year-old Jude, newly out of reform school, is searching for her best friend, Winnie, when she falls under the spell of an older man with a motorcycle, a needle, and a taste for danger. What begins as an escape spirals into motel rooms, stickups, and drug binges. Jude eventually finds Winnie, now Velvet, dancing at a Sunset Strip club. Together they imagine a future--bartending, writing, building a life of their own--but the same world that offers glamour and freedom threatens to consume them. Survival means navigating men who promise love, power, and escape--always at a cost. Lovers XXX is a cool-eyed re-creation of the world of '80s adult filmmaking, and a hypnotic novel of friendship, self-invention, and sexual identity beyond binaries. Above all, it is a singular love story between two vulnerable, defiant women.
