Sara Pascoe: Sex Power Money (EBook, 2019, Faber & Faber) 4 stars

Not what I was expecting

4 stars

Having watched Pascoe on various and sundry TV shows, I couldn't help but read this in her voice, like an in brain audio book. Entertainingly written, in a lighter and funnier style for subjects that are quite deep and serious. It's also more an exploration of her own assumptions and procedures and those being dispelled during her research and enlightenment.

I listened to the accompanying ten part podacst when the book was first released, where she talks to sex workers. That was enlightening enough, the book just adds more, especially around consent and rape. Not sure I could persuade my seventeen year old son to read it, but he would certainly benefit if he did.
