Hey, just had to ask you guys about your takes on Alan Moore's "Lost Girls." If I'm wrong or other people have expressed this more articulately, let me know. I know Moore has said several times that the work is pornography, but I have to think he's being a little facetious (sp). Obviously there's a boat-load of sex, but there's definately a uniting theme:
All the girls are abused at a young age. Although they feel pleasure in these encounters, they also feel strangely about them. The book's also about the way their experiences shape their sexuality. I would have to posit that the story is really about victims of sexual abuse reclaiming their own sexuality from their abusers and coming to terms with the sexual person they are.
What do you guys who've read it think?
