Viac o knihe

This critically acclaimed memoir about being a john has now been adapted into a major motion picture. The graphic novel was a standout in 2011, receiving two rave reviews in The New York Times for its innovative and complex narrative. Chester Brown's distinctive artwork is featured in this new paperback edition, coinciding with the film directed by his longtime friend Sook-Yin Lee. The memoir offers a candid exploration of sex work through Brown's experiences as a timid john, detailing his encounters with escorts, his concerns about tipping, and his reliance on advice from Dan Savage. It demystifies a sensationalized subject, presenting a world of online reviews and clean environments, free from the clichés of street corners, drugs, or pimps. Brown merges personal and sexual themes from his previous works with a polemical approach, advocating for the legalization of sex work. This edition includes an introduction by Lee, expanded notes on the film adaptation, movie stills, behind-the-scenes shots, and a new cover along with artwork created for the production. This edition is essential for fans of Brown and filmmaking.
