- Synopsis
- "This is the world of Fresh Girls, where pleasure repeatedly comes from pain and pain is a dreamlike state, a fleeting refuge from reality for these girls teetering between the adult demands and severed innocence of their troubled lives. Ultimately a hard yet sensitive look at the dark side of desire, Fresh Girls And Other Stories is full of personalities yearning to be transformed - like Mary, a dominatrix who fantasizes about her boyfriend while a client begs at her feet; or Jane, burnt out at twenty-four, who dreams of love and marriage but can't resist the feel of crisp fifty-dollar bills; or the girl who goes to bed each night with the spikes of her metal bracelet cutting deep into her flesh; or the young woman who must remain nameless and subservient as she services an elderly gentleman in his cruel yet needy shriveled state." "Writing in a fierce, poetic style, vibrant with energy, Evelyn Lau shows us in a psychological and emotionally truthful way how turning tricks, donning leathers, and wielding a whip can become routine, while love and tenderness seem exotic."
