"Assuming the Position" by Rick Whitaker

[+ friendofsheila]

I just finished reading this book, a sort-of memoir about the author's time being a hustler (his word).

 

Has anyone else read it?

I read it a number of years ago, but don't remember much about it.

I've read it when it came out a number of years ago and remember enjoying the "insiders" perspective.

I liked it a lot. It turns out to be as much or more about his addictions than prostitution itself, but it's good, honest. He wrote another book, know nothing about it. One of the best book jackets I've seen.

I found it sometimes good, but an awful lot of it he seemed so distant from the subject. It would also have been a pretty slim book if it had been printed without all the extra spacing.

 

And I'm wondering if there will ever be a story about this population without the excesses of drugs, alcohol and sex addiction.

Rod, I haven't read the book just seen the movie. It was an okay indie flick...but I did like the way the love interest problem was resolved at the end.

It looks like I can get this through the library, too.

 

Thank you Rod.
