Just Pervs

In Just Pervs, Jess Taylor's sophomore story collection, contemporary views of female sexuality are subverted and complicated -- no longer are women figures to be acted upon my men; here they have agency over their desires and their bodies. Through the characters in these stories we discover how sex can be many things: it can be gross, shameful, exhilarating, hidden, or open, but it is always complicated. Just Pervs explores the strange oppression and illumination that desire can create, the bewilderment of adolescence, the barriers to intimacy we discover within ourselves and the ones that are imposed on us. All while speaking honestly and openly about sex and championing expressions of female sexuality.
