It is Kit Tolliver's oft-repeated role in life to hook up with a suitable male, go home with him, have richly satisfying and often inventive sex with him, and then kill him and take his money. She'd done so in three stories ("If You Can't Stand the Heat", set in Hell's Kitchen, "Rude Awakening," set in the Bronx, and "You Can Call Me Lucky," set in an Indian casino in Michigan) and, while I knew her like a sister, I still didn't know her name or her backstory or why she was doing these terrible things.
Then Gardner Dozois and George R. R. Martin invited me to contribute a story to a cross-genre anthology to be called Warriors, and right away I thought of this enterprising and imaginative young womanl, who seemed to have become my go-to girl for such occasions. By now I'd lived with her long enough to have an intuitive sense of just who she was, and I wound up writing a long and layered story explaining her mission, how she'd come to it, and where it was taking her.
And, at long last, we learned her name.
Several of Warriors' reviewers singled out "Clean Slate" for special mention, and Harlan Coben chose it for Best American Mystery Stories of 2011. I found it a very satisfying story to write and to have written, and I finished it knowing I'd have a good deal more to say about Kit, even as she'd have a good deal more to accomplish.
"Clean Slate" was a turning point—for both of us. I'd chronicled her earlier adventures in response to requests; an editor had asked for a story, and I filled the order. After "Clean Slate," nobody had to ask me to write more about Kit. She was very much on and in my mind, and it became clear to me that I was writing a novel, and that I'd been unwittingly doing so from the first night she walked into that Hell's Kitchen saloon.
The book, published in 2011 by Hard Case Crime, is Getting Off.

Clean Slate Kit Tolliver #4 The Kit Tolliver Stories edition by Lawrence Block Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is going to be a somewhat crude review, but this is a seriously crude story.
Ever heard the terrible troll phrase, "they can't un-rape you"? Well, that's precisely the goal of our protagonist. A pretty psychotic woman goes about killing all of her lovers, with the intention of being a "virgin" once more when they're all dead. And, yes, it includes rapists. And worse, it includes her own father, who she portrays in a sort of Lolita scenario, "seducing" her. She claims to be unharmed, mentally, regarding the childhood sexual acts, but, well, she murders a bunch of people.
This is such a male gaze story. Perhaps Block is trying to look at sexual abuse through the mind of a victim, thinking he's being positive, but he's essentially writing a story about a woman's sexual abuse. I just can not recommend this story at all, and if you're any sort of abuse survivor, stay away.
Also, I don't see why this had to be included in the "Warriors" collection, it feels as if the father's nickname of "Warrior" for his daughter was just shoved in so that he could hand it over to the editors.
In this, volume four of the most original crime series ever published, the reader's most important question is answered in unequivocal fashion. It may unsettle some readers but it does not take Freud to see how an attractive young woman can turn out to be a killer.
Moving on, this tome is the longest and wordiest of the set so far. The victim / s this time don't have huge roles in the story but this one is really about the past. Emotional attachments to Kit is a given; but as for the men she goes home with - I can take 'em or leave 'em.
Full marks for Mr Block to have the courage to write about this and for having the ability to leave the reader wanting to read more of the bad, bad girl from New York City.
BFN Greggorio!
Block's Kit Tolliver series of short stories (collected in Getting Off) combines his early softcore novels written as Jill Emerson with his later crime fiction work. Be forewarned, Kit's stories are violent and sexual and not Goldlocks and the three bears.
Kit is a modern day black widow who meets her men in pickup bars. This particular story is about origins and how Kit became who she became and developed her psycjo-sexual compulsions, including her childhood abuse and her confused feelings. Some may not like what Block developed with this story, but he did he did a fine job of creating this character and her twisted world.
