Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus

Yksityiskohdat

The idiosyncratic master Chester Brown continues his thoughts on sex work.

The iconoclastic and bestselling cartoonist of "Paying for It: A comic-strip memoir about being a john" and "Louis Riel" returns and with a polemical interpretation of the Bible that will be one of the most controversial and talked-about graphic novels of 2016. "Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus" is the retelling in comics form of nine biblical stories that present Chester Brown's fascinating and startling thesis about biblical representations of prostitution. Brown weaves a connecting line between Bathsheba, Ruth, Rahab, Tamar, Mary of Bethany, and the Virgin Mother. He reassesses the Christian moral code by examining the cultural implications of the Bible's representations of sex work.

"Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus" is a fitting follow-up to Brown's sui generis graphic memoir "Paying for It," which was reviewed twice in "The New York Times" and hailed by sex workers for Brown's advocacy for the decriminalization and normalization of prostitution. Brown approaches the Bible as he did the life of Louis Riel, making these stories compellingly readable and utterly pertinent to a modern audience. In classic Chester Brown fashion, he provides extensive handwritten endnotes that delve into the biblical lore that informs "Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus."
