SUMMARY:EN - Graphic Novel Book Club: Paying For It
DESCRIPTION:Join Librairie D+Q and host Francine Yulo to discuss PAYING FOR IT by Chester Brown for our next Graphic Novel Book Club. The event is free and open to all\, no reservation needed.\n////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nPaying for It was the most talked-about and controversial graphic novel of 2011\, a critical success so innovative and complex that it received two rave reviews in The New York Times. Chester Brown’s eloquent\, spare artwork stands out in this new paperback edition\, tied to the release of the film adaptation co-written and directed by Sook-Yin Lee\, Brown’s longtime friend and the director of Year of the Carnivore and Octavio is Dead!\nPaying for It offers an entirely unvarnished exploration of sex work through Brown’s own life story\, showing him as a timid john who rides his bike to his escorts\, wonders how to tip so as not to offend\, and reads Dan Savage for advice. The book demystifies an experience that is so often sensationalized\, revealing a world of online reviews\, seemingly willing participants\, and clean apartments devoid of clichéd street corners\, drugs\, or pimps. In it\, Brown combines the personal and sexual aspects of his autobiographical work (I Never Liked You\, The Playboy) with the polemical drive of Louis Riel\, as he explores one of the most hotly debated issues in the world and advocates for the importance of legalizing sex work.\n////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\nEspace Drawn & Quarterly Accessibility information:\n– Our event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility.
