Tess, the protagonist/narrator of Surviving Mae West, is a young West Virginia woman haunted by the trauma of a brutal rape. The novel opens on the day Tess begins working as a prostitute in a New York City brothel. Her family, however, believes she's a waitress in a Mexican restaurant. Suviving Mae West utilizes a journal format, a structure that allows Tess to emerge with utter candor and realism as readers become privy to her secrets and sink into her complex inner world where intimacy is both dreaded and desired. Rodd shatters gender stereotypes with her complex everyday-life portrait of a woman employed in the oldest profession. Surviving Mae West is an uncensored story of survival and renewal, told by a narrator as unabashed as John Cleland's Fanny Hill, as flawed and plucky as Wally Lamb's Dolores Price, and as resilient as Dorthy Allison's Bone.
