Vollmann on Prostitution

Isaac Fitzgerald bio ↓  ·  January 22nd, 2010  ·  filed under books, politics, sex

“Well, I’m getting older, so I can’t get it up as much as I used to. [...] I think prostitutes are amazing people with so much knowledge of human nature and so many fantastic stories. Some of them are scam artists, but most of them are very, very brave and a lot of them compassionate. I think it should be legalized.”

Mother Jones has posted an extended version of their interview with William T. Vollmann in which he discusses popularity, prostitution, borders, and why he distrusts the Internet.
