Ellen Forney's follow-up to her wildly popular I Love Led Zeppelin is a collection of cartoons celebrating the sometimes stunningly crude, sometimes surprisingly sweet online world of kinky personal classifieds. Forney has for several years been illustrating the Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger's "Lustlab" classified ads by interpreting the most interesting, outrageous, or idiosyncratic ad in that week's paper. To cap it off, the collection includes frank, revealing interviews with some of the advertisers conducted by Forney, plus an introduction by the notorious sex advice columnist and novelist (and Stranger editor), Dan Savage.
"Alternately clever and goofy, Lust is a fantastic voyage into the nether regions of human desire. A-" – Entertainment Weekly
"Whether you're a true kinkster or a part-time voyeur who occasionally skims online personals, it's hard to tear yourself away from Lust… No matter who – or what – your yen, Lust is worth a peep." – Readymade
"Give your partner a copy of Ellen Forney's Lust… It's a great way to open the door for discussing different kinks you might be interested in exploring." – Fleshbot
