I am currently reading Shaw’s "Servicing The Pole", and I want to start by saying that I think it is to her credit that she wants to maintain her independence as an author and remain true to her vision for the dimensions of her main characters. I am enjoying the fact that Shaw seems able to convey a broad range of experience to the "sex worker life", acknowledging that it can be a life of ambivalence and contradiction. What does it mean to display one’s physicality to an audience and society capable of such variance in their responses, expectations, assumptions? I like the idea that we are more than our jobs, what constitutes our "work" can be a pile of many different roles and passions, along with some dreams tucked in for safe keeping.
