The Writer Who Wants Readers To Feel Like Voyeurs

After all, why should we have access to the characters’ sex lives? Raven Leilani, author of Luster, says “I try to portray it in the way that moves me when I see it, when it is awkward and silly, which it often is. To depict it that way is to make it tender; what it looks like when two bodies, especially two bodies that are very different, get to know each other. … For me that is the most enjoyable kind of sex to watch and to read.” – The Guardian (UK)
