Chester Brown "Paying For It" Part 1 of 4
Loading...
Uploaded by StrandBookStore on May 19, 2011
Chester Brown has never shied away from tackling controversial subjects in his work. As the cartoonist of the autobiographical The Playboy and the biography Louise Riel, Paying For It is a natural progression for Brown as it combines the personal and sexual aspects of his autobiographical work with the polemical drive of Louis Riel. Paying For It offers an entirely contemporary exploration of sex work-from the timid john who rides his bike to meet his escorts, wonders how to tip so as not to offend, and reads Dan Savage for advice, to the modern-day transactions complete with online reviews, seemingly willing participants, and clean apartments devoid of cliched street corners, drugs, or pimps.
Tracy Quan, a columnist, TV guest and author of Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl and many other books, will join Chester Brown on the Strand Stage.

I found Chester the Molester to be a rapist; in much of the book he is seeking underage girls and he doesn't concern himself with their feelings. This is not a polemic on prostitution but a portrayal of a sick sociopath.

Not sure yet to what I think of this book. There are root flaws to some of his arguements, I can grasp those flaws but can't quite articulate them yet. However it raises interesting ideas and issues and good or bad it makes you think. Got my copy at a local comic shop just south of Toronto here in Canada. We think a little differantly about some issues than Americans do. So it might be interesting to see American reactions about this book and I'd like to hear more comments from women readers

Just started reading Mr. Brown's book that I bought yesterday at Zanada Comics in Seattle. I have to say I already like it. It is sure to be one of the most profound and thought-provoking works I've encountered on Love vs. Romantic Love & on Human Sexual Desire that I have come across in a long while. Mr. Brown is already one of my favorite Canadians!
