A book about hiring

[+ friendofsheila]

A novel by a man named Chester Brown, about hiring women for sex. Different because it's a graphic novel, so it sounds especially interesting.

The review said he makes the case for legalization.

Just how graphic is it?

Thank you FOS. Interesting article and may be worthwhile getting the book. I'd be interested in his decriminalizataion arguments.

 

But the Times article did have one great line, describing the drawings of the author: "while Mr. Brown — with his tight, unsmiling mouth; bald head; and long, thin body — resembles a praying mantis with testicles. "

 

A praying mantis with testicles? roflmao

A graphic novel is one told with pictures as well as words, much like a comic book.

Definitely an interesting idea.
