Venus as a Boy is a 2004 fiction novella by Scottish writer and musician Luke Sutherland. It is set in South Ronaldsay, Orkney, an island off the coast of Scotland; the author purports to tell the posthumous story of Désirée, who grew up on the island, as a transcription of his audio-recorded memoirs presented to the novel's author by Désirée's friend and "confidant" Pascal.
