A Novel About Sexual Desire by John Cleveland

In the novel, Fanny is told by her brothel madam that all people who entertain her homosexual desire are perverts and an abomination to God. It feels very out of character for a book that has been otherwise so understanding about sexual desire. Cleveland's book remains such a polarizing novel with so many unanswered questions. No one can kind of seem to decide if it's irredeemably vulgar or this kind of charming wholesome work of literature," she said.
