Liara Roux
Why would someone ever voluntarily become a sex worker? Liara Roux writes about the salacious details leading up to her decision to become a career sex worker, and the unexpected truths she learned while working in the industry.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.

"A queer feminist Manifesto. This book is about the joys, positivity, affirmation and compassion that comes from community. The idea of Sex work or “Accounting” is more widely accepted over the last few years and Liara’s book is a confession but it’s also a discussion of how legalization of Sex work is one step in the direction of a leftist socialist society. This book is about recovery from financially abusive partners and how we find ourselves out of situations like the one that liara was in. This book is a really important book to tell the human stories of queer sex workers!"
