"The best work by anyone on prostitution ever, Rachel Moran's Paid For fuses the memoirist's lived poignancy with the philosopher's conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down. This book provides all anyone needs to know about the reality of prostitution in moving, insightful prose that engages and disposes of every argument ever raised in its favor." -Catharine A. MacKinnon, law professor, University of Michigan and Harvard University Born into a troubled family, Rachel Moran left home at the age of fourteen. Being homeless, she was driven into prostitution to survive. With intelligence and empathy, she describes the exploitation she and others endured on the streets and in the brothels. Moran also speaks to the psychological damage inherent to prostitution and the inevitable estrangement from one's body. At twenty-two, Moran escaped the sex trade. She has since become a writer and an abolitionist activist.

'When you are fifteen years old and destitute, too unskilled to work and too young to claim unemployment benefit, your body is all you have left to sell.'

Rachel Moran came from a troubled family background. Taken into State care at fourteen, she became homeless and got involved in prostitution aged fifteen. For the next seven years Rachel worked as a prostitute, isolated, drug-addicted, outside of society.

Rachel's experience was one of violence, loneliness, and relentless exploitation and abuse. Her story reveals the emotional cost of selling your body night after night in order to survive--loss of innocence, loss of self-worth and a loss of connection from mainstream society that makes it all the more difficult to escape the prostitution world.

At the age of 22 she managed, with remarkable strength, to liberate herself from that life. She went to university, gained a degree and forged a new life, but she always promised that one day she would complete this book. This is Rachel Moran's story, written in her own words and in her own name.

In a dying Florida town, a trivial clique lives in oblivion as natural disaster and lies consume them. Vanessa is a nihilistic hairdresser, coping with her parents' freak death. She dates Alex, a sellout painter, desperate for affection and relevance. Alex fucks Julie, a pill popper with a past. After a bizarre fire ruins an art gallery, they plan an extravagant party on a wasted barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico. As the party approaches, Vanessa's friends converge, hot for distraction from dysfunctional affairs, a hopeless economy, and the searing sun-until a rumor unravels everyone's secrets. Quick and surreal, Paper Dolls is a lush exhortation against cultivated apathy and delusion. Includes NSFW illustrations by Clay Bryan.
