Susan Harris - 2022
Chester Brown, the acclaimed cartoonist behind "Paying for It: A Comic-Strip Memoir About Being a John," presents a polemical interpretation of the Bible in "Mary Wepte over the Feet of Jesus." This graphic novel offers a controversial and widely discussed perspective on biblical narratives concerning prostitution. Brown connects figures such as Bathsheba, Ruth, Rahab, Tamar, Mary of Bethany, and the Virgin Mother to re-examine Christian morality through the lens of ancient sex work representations.
