Publisher's Summary

A blazing novel following a young woman on a hallucinogenic quest for love and selfhood in San Francisco’s seedy underground.

Baby is a dancer at a strip club and other than that she’s feeling a little lost. It seems that only Dino, her sweet, cross-dressing, drug-dealing ex-boyfriend can keep her afloat. So, when Dino disappears without so much as a kiss goodbye, she plunges headfirst into San Francisco’s shady erotic underground to find him.

Baby searches through dive bars and old haunts, at the club and at the sex dungeon where she has a part-time dominatrix gig. She encounters clients like Simon, a recluse paying her for increasingly bizarre “favours” and a philosophizing suicide fetishist named ‘Nobody’, as well as coworkers like Emeline, the balletic new hire who seems to want to steal Baby’s whole identity, starting with her underwear.

But soon Baby starts to find cryptic notes hidden in her bag and slipped into her locker at the club. The clock is ticking: will Baby manage to put together the pieces and find the only man she’s ever loved? Or might her past catch up with her first?

Manically smart, brutally funny and deeply sexy, Soft Core is a book about desire, fantasy, and true love – like no other.
