Her lifelong curiosity about male lust, love, selfishness, and social capital dovetailed with her own insatiable desire for intimacy to sustain a long career in escorting, with unexpectedly poignant results. Shane uses her personal and professional history to examine how men and women struggle in their attempts at romantic and sexual bonding, no matter how true their intentions. As she takes stock of her relationships—with clients, with her father, with friends, with married men, and later, with her own husband—she tells a candid and haunting tale of love, marriage, and (in)fidelity, as seen through the eyes of the perpetual “other woman.” Braiding the personal and the universal, Shane’s memoir is a merciless and moving love letter to straight men and an indictment of habitual dishonesty, a condemnation of every social constraint acting on heterosexual unions, and a hopeful affirmation of the possibility for true connection between men and women.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 178mmItem Length: 127mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 218gAuthor: Charlotte ShaneGenre: BiographyTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & RelationshipsRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
