Publisher's Synopsis
To Make the Night Electric is a woman's novel about empowering themselves. It is 203 pages, 41,366 words. It is at once a very creative and sexually based adult novel, but with many symbolic messages. Modernist writer Arnold Lutz plays with the structure of the novel jumping masterfully from first to third person then back again, giving variety to the storytelling. Lutz does this so smoothly it's like slipping into a woman's silk blouse. More importantly, the novel is a story about the exploitation of escorts in Hollywood, California.But more specifically, our main character Nicole Skylar, fights her way out of poverty to become a millionaire from the oldest profession in the world. Lutz's writing is magnificent and his storytelling skills masterful. His imagination paints for us various colorful portraits of johns and their various fantasies, which Nicole is more than eager to satisfy for money. Nicole loves her work. Lutz uses many creative tecniques in his stories best to be appreciated by mature readers who can get past the sex and analyze and think about something that needs changing. It's a wild sexual ride, and in places somewhat humorous, so prepare yourself for climaxes that never end. An entertaining mainstream read for college students having problems with confirming their sexuality, but in general for all adults as well. Lutz experiements with the traditional structure of the novel and storytelling which might be of interests to the students of literature. Beyond the sexual scenes something more is going on: this is a novel about the final liberation of women, and a restructuring of the conventional novel.. In an interview with UZ magazine Lutz stated: "I wrote the novel for women because I am tired of seeing them being exploited in any fashion, be it the work force or the bedroom. They must receive equal pay for equal services rendered. Just like men want compensation for their time, all women deserve the same. Furthermore, women must always have the exclusive say with regard to their body. It is wrong for any woman who is currently enslaved, whether it is in the desert of the Sudan, or Hollywood, California not to rise up to embrace their full freedom, potential and independence."
