The First Annual Hooker Prize
Who says booksellers are the last guardians of good taste in an ever-more tawdry world?
From AbeBooks:
Welcome to the Hooker Prize – in honor of Elliot Spitzer and his fall from grace in a New York minute, AbeBooks.com has compiled a list of 10 recommended non-fiction reads about hookers, madams, high-class callgirls and prostitutes. Prostitution, of course, is the oldest profession in the world and has fascinated readers for centuries. Since the 1970s, there has been a wealth of memoirs from ‘ladies of the night’ so here’s the literary lowdown on the callgirl culture.
Yes, The Happy Hooker by Xavier Hollander is #1.
