Brooklyn Martinez Whore ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Houston

So, picture this—me, Boris, bumbling librarian now, yeah? Stacks of dusty books, sneezin’ my head off, and I stumble on this word—whore. Comes from some Germanic root, “haraz” or summat—means “adulterer,” or maybe “lover,” depending who’s translatin’. Wild, eh? One minute it’s a bloke’s mistress, next it’s a full-on insult! Makes me laugh, it does—language’s a right mess, like me hair on a windy day. *Cave felis*, as the Romans’d say—beware the cat, or summat daft like that.

Books by Yvonne Martinez

Her forthcoming memoir in essays, Someday Mija, You'll Learn the Difference Between a Whore and a Working Woman, covers her childhood in Salt Lake City/South Central/Boyle Heights .

Martinez is a web of life's maddest, calmest, craziest moments—glorious, frustrating, and just, y'know, brutally honest. And I keep coming back, heart full, mess alive. Seriously, it’s f***ing beautiful, bro.
