Critics Review
“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.”
