The novel unfolds in a series of short, sharp vignettes. The narrator's descriptions of her first female lovers--a married woman fifteen years older than her, a model ten years her junior--are punctuated by encounters with her ex-husband, her father, and her son. As DebreÌ recently told Granta: "It was a bit like Saint Augustine and his conversion. In the same week, I had sex with a girl and I had the feeling that I could write. I had this incredible feeling that I could catch things, that life was there to be caught." Looking at the world through fresh eyes, the narrator of Playboy questions everything that once lay beneath the surface of her well-managed life. Laconic, aggressive, and radically truthful, she examines gender and marriage, selfishness and sacrifice, money and family, even the privilege inherent in her downward mobility." -- $c Publisher 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gender identity $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Lesbian fiction. $2 homoit $0 https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000742 655 7 $a LGBTQ+ fiction. $2 homoit $0 https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000443 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 700 1 $a James, Holly, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717011833.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=02059F7C440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
