I write for all the girls in this town, who nobody pays attention to but deserve all of the praise and credit and all the happiest endings. I write for my nieces, who are 14 and 18. Ntozake Shange has this quote that I really love: "I write for all the young girls of color who don't even exist yet so that there's something there for them when they arrive." I think about 15-year-old me, who was scared of everything but wanted so badly for someone to love her and to be seen as a whole person for all the parts of who I am. Who is the primary audience that you hold in your mind while you're writing? I love those stories so much and wanted to see someone like me reflected in them as more than a sidekick. I wanted to write a book that was very much an homage to the work that I love the most, which were the John Hughes movies of the eighties, the teen romantic comedies of the late '90s, early aughts – we're talking A Cinderella Story, Drive Me Crazy, 10 Things I Hate About You. ![]() ![]() ![]() Faced with a loaded gun, she has the moxie to ask, “And what will the gentleman be having with his robbery this morning?” Joe learns, shortly thereafter, that she is Mr. ![]() While holding up the gangsters, Joe is smitten by the unflappable Emma, a sassy cocktail waitress.

And his readers are willing captives, craving their tours of Lehane’s imagination.Īs Lehane’s latest novel, Live by Night, opens, his protagonist Joe Coughlin is faced with a different sort of immersion.

It involves much negotiation, and it is a treat to read. Ondry earnestly pursues Liam with precise questions to unravel the nuances of Liam’s psychological makeup. Liam sorts through linguistic roots for subtle shades of meaning and tries to avoid committing social offenses. Human Liam and alien Ondry may be traders (the most esteemed vocation on this particular planet), but their perspective is purely and rigorously anthropological. The book’s other strength is in its portrayal of two lovers attempting to understand each other across the vast chasm of different cultures. Even though the book does not offer traditional scenes of ritualized BDSM, it convincingly portrays the mindset of a submissive. The novella downplays sex scenes in favor of plot and character development. ![]() Claimings, Tails, and other Alien Artifacts by Lyn Gala is a strikingly original take on the usual BDSM story in which the hero overcomes society’s prejudices and his own troubled past to get in touch with his deeply repressed desire to submit. ![]() |
