					<description><![CDATA[Aya de Leon’s new novel, The Boss, tackles the real issues of sex work in a criminalized society without ever coming across as preachy. De Leon uses the experiences of sex workers and her own life to bring the reader into a diverse, vibrant, and intersectional world. As an isolated black femme sex worker living&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://titsandsass.com/the-boss-2017/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text"><i>The Boss </i> (2017)</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As a sex worker and a fairly enthusiastic reader, I’ve come across so few of our stories told in fiction—and very few set in my own country of Australia. So when I recently discovered Ariella van Luyn’s 2016 novel Treading Air, I was instantly intrigued. It had a fascinating historical premise and a sex worker&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://titsandsass.com/treading-air-2016/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text"><i>Treading Air </i> (2016)</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Slam poet and African American studies professor Aya de León’s new novel, Uptown Thief, is every activist sex worker’s fantasy: her protagonist Marisol Rivera is a women’s health clinic director by day and an escort agency manager and expert safe-cracker to fund that clinic for survival workers by night. True, any enterprising hooker who actually&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://titsandsass.com/uptown-thief-2016/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text"><i>Uptown Thief</i> (2016)</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When did I last read a novel about gay male escorts that didn&#8217;t make me want to set the world on fire with rage? It was probably Rupert Everett&#8217;s Hello, Darling, Are You Working?, one of the sex workers&#8217; rights advocate/actor’s less well-known works. But also I read that book years ago, so long ago&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://titsandsass.com/the-lengths-2013/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text"><i>The Lengths</i> (2013)</span></a>]]></description>

Upon reflection, we agree that this was specious and unnecessary, and apologize deeply for doing so. Red: I love stripper memoirs; I buy them all indiscriminately and hope for the best.
