Rent Girl

In my convalescence this weekend, I read one okay book and one excellent book. Laurenn McCubbin doesn't tell you how she does the illustrations but this is my guess: they hired actors to pose the scenes in the book, and then McCubbin photographed them and went over the photos either by hand or in Illustrator, making simple line drawings with startling verisimilitude. Worth it just for the pictures. It's the author's memoir of her time as a sex worker with a Boston escort service, so no matter how sloppy the prose is, it's a fascinating read.
