Beautifully written, mysterious and compelling
Formidable in its elegance and fierce in its simplicity, Saskia Vogel’s writing leaves the reader stunned and moved and wanting moreIf Joan Didion had written about the BDSM community in LA it may have felt a bit like Permission - Lit Hub (Must read books of 2019)A quietly transgressive tale of desire, love, loneliness, restraint and connection. The writing is fresh and minimal and the characters full of longing. A blistering debut for fans of Mary Gaitskill and A. M. HomesPermission excavates the uncertain landscape that lies just beneath the Hollywood dream factory we think we all know and against all odds finds something sacred thereVogel’s portrayal of sexual kink is particularly refreshing: rather than pruriently gorging on catharsis, Permission foregrounds the emotional intimacy - built on constancy, trust and compassion - that can flourish in the most unconventional relationships - GuardianVogel’s writing is beauty in motion. From capturing a humiliating date with a predatory agent to what attracts people to BDSM, this is an addictive read you’ll finish within hours - StylistSaskia Vogel
