Description
A young woman's madcap search for her missing ex-boyfriend takes her into the sexual underground in Brittany Newell's savage, tender Soft Core.
Ruth is lost. She's living in a drafty Victorian with her ex-boyfriend Dino, a ketamine dealer with a lingerie habit, overdosing on television and regretting her master's degree. When she starts dancing at a strip club, she becomes Baby Blue, seductress of crypto bros, outcasts, and old lovers alike. Plunged into this swirling underworld of beautiful women, fast cash, ungodly hours, and strangers' secrets, Baby's grip on reality begins to loosen. She is sure she can handle it-until one autumn morning when Dino disappears without a trace.
Thus begins a nocturnal quest for the one she still loves-through the misty hills of San Francisco; in dive bars and bus depots; at the BDSM dungeon where she takes a part-time gig. Along the way, she meets Simon, a recluse who pays her for increasingly bizarre favors; a philosophizing suicide fetishist named Nobody; and Emeline, the beautiful and balletic new hire who reminds Baby of someone . . .
A brutally funny, propulsive story of power, fantasy, love, and loss, Brittany Newell's Soft Core is an ode to the heartbroken and unhinged, to those whose appetites lead them astray. It is a hallucinogenic romp about a girl coming undone, whose longing for friendship, romance, and revenge will take her over the edge and back again.

Kaleidoskop des Begehrens und der Bedürfnisse
Wo ist Babys Exfreund Dino und was bedeutet sein Verlust für sie? Wir begleiten die Protagonistin, eine 27-jährige Stripperin, in das Nachtleben San Franciscos, das mal schillert, aber meistens deprimiert. Baby setzt sich mit den verschiedensten Charakteren und ihren oftmals absurden Bedürfnissen auseinander. Gleichzeitig bleibt die Frage; wie geht es eigentlich ihr? Und ist sie noch Herrin ihrer Sinne, als sie beginnt, Dino überall zu sehen? Mir hat dieses absolute Weird Girl-Buch sehr viel Freude bereitet, auch wenn ich es nicht zu 100 Prozent verstanden habe.
