Lust: Pleasure, Performance, Power

A bold book on desire, shame, and the politics of pleasure.

In Lust: Pleasure, Performance, Power, Erika Lust shares the story behind her decades-long work in cinema, tracing the personal, creative, and cultural questions that shaped her practice.

With warmth and clarity, she writes about representation, consent, performance, storytelling, and the power of creating images that treat pleasure with care. A personal, provocative, and necessary reflection on pleasure as something human, political, and alive.
