Los Favores / Acts of Service

«Los favores no empieza con un beso; se salta los preliminares para describir las frecuencias l甒uidas del deseo y el poder con una mirada atenta y salvaje . --Raven Leilani, autora de Brillo

«En nuestra era de puritanismo resurgente, Los favores es una obra maestra excepcional y necesaria sobre el sexo . --The Guardian

Eve tiene unos treinta a隳s, una novia que la adora y el temor oculto de estar malgastando su juventud con una sola persona. Una noche cuelga en internet unas fotos suyas desnuda. As?es como conoce a Olivia y, a trav廥 de ella, a Nathan, su pareja. A pesar de sus dudas, pronto se ve inmersa en un affaire con los dos que la perturba y la engancha. A medida que la relaci鏮 clandestina se enreda en apartamentos y locales de Nueva York, Eve descubre la cara m嫳 oscura del sexo y se pregunta hasta qu?punto nuestros deseos nos definen.

Este debut inteligente y provocador es una mirilla abierta a las vidas de tres personajes esclavos de sus deseos, un acto de voyerismo que nos confronta con los rincones m嫳 inh鏀pitos de nuestros anhelos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A "bold and unflinchingly sexy" (Vogue) debut novel about a young woman who follows her desires into a world of pleasure, decadence, and privilege, unraveling everything she thought she knew about sex . . . and herself.

"One of the most entertaining books about sex I've ever read . . . The perfect read for fans of Raven Leilani and Ottessa Moshfegh, this is a book that will have people talking."--BuzzFeed

"A sex masterpiece."--The Guardian

"Anytime I want, I can forsake this dinner party and jump into real life."--Eve Babitz

Eve has an adoring girlfriend, an impulsive streak, and a secret fear that she's wasting her brief youth with just one person. So one evening she posts some nudes online. This is how Eve meets Olivia, and through Olivia the charismatic Nathan. Despite her better instincts, the three soon begin a relationship--one that disturbs Eve as much as it enthralls her.

As each act of their complicated, three-way affair unfolds across a cold and glittering New York, Eve is forced to confront the questions that most consume her: What do we bring to sex? What does it reveal of ourselves, and one another? And how do we reconcile what we want with what we think we should want?

In the way only great fiction can, Acts of Service takes between its teeth the contradictions written all over our ideas of sex and sexuality. At once juicy and intellectually challenging, sacred, and profane, Lillian Fishman's riveting debut is bold, unabashed, and required reading of the most pleasurable sort.
