This punchy novella, written by and about a disabled woman writer, challenges the expectations of what a woman should or could want or desire for her body. The line isn’t always clear between what’s happening to the main character, or what that character is writing about in her erotic fiction, and that adds to the overall unsettled feeling. Loaded with sexually explicit writing and an educative, moving insight into disability.
I’d like to state on record that it’s totally impossible to represent women’s sexual sounds in print. I’d say it’s several orders of difficulty above kids screaming. It seems as though everyone struggles with it, and of late I’ve encountered more people on the erotica site using something called heart gasps, where you append heart marks to the end of the aahing and mmming. Something like:
Aaah♡ Mm♡ MmmMM♡ !
I don’t find it very dignified though, so I don’t bother.
