Reviews
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Roux aims to portray sex work as work, in all of its chaos and charm."
