Chester Brown was born in Montreal in 1960 and is best known for his two recent non-fiction graphic novels: the meticulously researched and Harvey-Award winning Louis Riel, and the controversial, critically acclaimed Paying for It. Brown began self-publishing his comic book series Yummy Fur at twenty-three, and has been publishing with D+Q since 1991. He is also the author of The Playboy, I Never Like You, The Little Man, and Ed The Happy Clown. Brown lives in Toronto, where he ran for Parliament twice as a member of the Libertarian Party of Canada.
Paying for It [is a] recounting of the author's many erotic sessions with sex workers; it's a bitter critique of the inanities of romantic love; and it's a sustaned argument in favour of decriminalizing prostitution. - New York Times
