Yeah, and I think she has a lot of reservations about her own lovability and also her own desirability, which maybe is one of the many reasons why she enjoys her work as a stripper and later as a dominatrix. And I think she's a very curious person, which probably would be the main ways that I think I'm like Ruth.

I actually think I'm very different from Ruth, but we do share that fundamental curiosity and an attraction to underworlds or shadows, maybe. I feel like she's very unafraid of things that other people might deem seedy or grubby. I think she feels at ease in those environments or with those types of people.

Yeah. Well, I think I wanted it to be real and I wanted it to be empathetic and relatable and realistic and all of these things. And it makes Ruth, I think, a more like a character that we would see everywhere and a person who...

yeah, isn't this like flashing billboard image of a woman, even though in the sex work world, that's always, you know, what you're portraying or the role that you're stepping into. But even for the most, you know, like gorgeous woman working as a stripper or whatever, like that would always be a fantasy or a role that one is inhabiting.

And I think all women, like regardless of what they look like, are actually like really good at that. and really learn to play the role and to understand what someone wants before they understand it themselves. That's probably what makes an excellent sex worker, I think, is that almost mind-reading empathy and the ability to shapeshift.

And actually, I think that that's another big part of Ruth's averageness kind of being a benefit to her in these worlds is it allows her to shapeshift. And in general, she's a shapeshifter, like outside the club as well.

Well, I guess probably the useless gender studies degree. No, I'm just kidding.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I think when I... You know, I had the bizarre and, like, gorgeous but also very weird experience of publishing my book. So I wrote it when I was, I guess, like, 20, and then it came out right when I graduated. So, you know, that was amazing. And I think for me, and still actually, like, the most important thing to me upon graduating was wanting to have...
