Review by Alison
Yes, this book is about an ex prostitute. All been done before I hear you say? Well, this was one of the first of its kind. Published in 1973 it is jam packed with words like; groovy, dig, man, fuck and the occasional c-bomb.
Shocking and vulgar, the word groovy really is disgusting.
Xaviera was a call girl in her 20’s then progressed into New York’s leading Madam in her 30’s. She was then arrested for prostitution and forced to leave the US as she was not a citizen. This year was the same year she released her first book, The Happy Hooker. Xaveria! Is about the year following the release of her first book with some sexy stories on the side that she feels she could not fit into her first book.
It really felt like I was reading a diary of sorts, if diaries ever became about telling yourself repeatedly how great you are, how intelligent you are compared to media persons and how you think you are doing society a big favour by being here. I really had to force myself through some parts as it all got a bit monotonous. I felt like yelling, “OK so I know you think you are hot stuff and you love sex but, seriously? Is that it? Is this what your book sold on?”
I would only be recommending this read if you were looking for that special someone to really focus all your negative energy into. Fantastic for that, otherwise….don’t do it.
Who’s a sexy Nanna?
Being crazy isn't enough.
