March Book Club: Working It: Sex Workers on the Work of Sex


  • Ultra Violet Pole and Cirque 300 Campbell Avenue, Unit 209 Toronto, ON, M6P 3V6 Canada (map)

Fiercely intelligent, fantastically transgressive, Working It is an intimate portrait of the lives of sex workers. A polyphonic story of triumph, survival, and solidarity this collection showcases the vastly different experiences and interests of those who have traded sex; among them a brothel worker in Australia, First Nation survivors of the Canadian child welfare system, and an Afro-Latina single parent raising a radicalized child.

Packed with first-person essays, interviews, poetry, drawings, mixed-media collage, and photographs Working It honours the complexity of lived experience. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hardboiled, these dazzling pieces will go straight to the heart.
