PAYING FOR IT: Love, Friendship and Paying for Sex (Interview with Sook-Yin Lee and Chester Brown)

Chester took their story—detailing the end of their romantic relationship and his journey into paying for sex—and turned it into a graphic novel. Rather than being upset about having their private life on display, Sook-Yin found the book so compelling that she adapted it into a feature film.
