VOYEURS DE VENUS
by LYDIA DIAMOND

Sara is an African-American scholar of pop-culture trying to write a book about Saartjie Baartman, better known disparagingly as the Hottentot Venus. Struggling with the expectations of her book deal, she discovers that the past is not so far behind as her life collides with that of her subject. Navigating a minefield of personal intimacies with her white husband, and black lover who is also her publisher, Sara finds herself challenged with her own issues of racial identity. Sexy, bold and dangerous, VOYEURS DE VENUS is sure to be one of the season’s most piercing dramas (CompanyOne.Org).
