Bekendstelling: Stiletto: in die onderwêreld van die seksindustrie deur Karin Eloff en Carl F Cronjé

by Ronel S on Jun 10th, 2009

Stiletto: in die onderwêreld van die seksindustrieTafelberg nooi u vriendelike uit na die bekendstelling van Stiletto deur Karin Eloff en Carl F Cronjé, by die Cape Town Book Fair. Karin Eloff gesels oor haar ervaringe in die seksindustrie.

Oor die boek

Karin Eloff is ’n Boeremeisie met ’n honneursgraad in sielkunde en ’n Dopper-agtergrond.

Stiletto vertel die ware verhaal van die pad wat dié kuis en voorbeeldige skooldogter gestap het om uiteindelik Zoë te word – eers as gewone stripper, toe as danseres en masseuse in die Streel-kasteel en uiteindelik redakteur van ’n pornografiese tydskrif.

Haar pad lê besaai met middeljarige mans, Afrikanermeisies met eksotiese Engelse verhoogname, gevaarlike seks en dwelms. Stiletto vertel hoe sy daar beland het, wat sy daaruit geleer het en hoe sy dit oorleef het. Dit raak pertinente kwelvrae oor ons samelewing aan – oor mans, oor vroue, oor seks, oor liefde en oor wie die delers en die stelers is.

Stiletto draai nie doekies om oor die skadubestaan van die sekswerker nie.
