About this listen

 SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE PRODUCED BY SEAN BAKER.
Oh, the places a whore will go: Strip clubs, four-star hotels, stinking basement apartments, luxury cottages. A striking memoir by Andrea Werhun and Nicole Bazuin documents Andrea's sex work career in lush photography and powerful words—in all its slippery, sexy, silly and sometimes heartbreaking glory.

Andrea Werhun's sex work career gave her money, freedom, joy, and a lot of dick. A natural performer, she revelled in the opportunity to invent Mary Ann, her escort counterpart, and introduce her to men all over the city. She whores, she learns, she writes it all down, and then, as per a signed document she handed to her Catholic mother in her early twenties, she quits. To become a stripper.

Andrea and Nicole revisit the idea of the modern whore, with the enhanced perspective of Andrea's experience at the strip club. This new, engorged edition of the sold-out memoir-cum-art book expands on the original concept--a series of vignettes exploring the many identities sex workers adopt in the service of their clients and in the eyes of the public--in both a literal and literary way. But Andrea doesn't shy away from the serious side of sex work, either, exploring the risks sex workers take, and the rights our culture is constantly taking away from them.

This series of stories and portraits investigate the many ways we imagine—and mistake—the modern whore. It's Playboy if the Playmates were in charge. Art Memoir Career

I had no idea what to expect when I started listening to this book! What surprised me most is the depth of this book. It’s quite well written, nicely narrated. Andrea is a good storyteller and despite controversial topic it’s quite enjoyable listening to her stories. It’s like journey behind the mirror. Enjoyable and full of aha moments. Literally.

Doesn’t seem like there’s enough material there for a book. It’s been padded out with extra bits that don’t remotely relate to the narrative, with a muddled and confusing result.
