Summary

We've got Pleasure by Eric Jerome Dickey for you. We have to be honest, this re-defines the term "hate episode." This is an erotica novel from the first person perspective of a woman, written by man. You wanted #intellectualismin2020 and HERE IT IS. TW: Graphic images of slavery, sexual assault, incest, homophobia, pedophilia, sexual and domestic violence, cavalier mentions of police brutality, slut shaming, poverty shaming, sex work shaming, fat shaming, and one incident of Holocaust imagery.
