Chicken, memoir of a teenage gigolo

Rachel Cooke reviews a new addition to the stripper/call girl memoirs genre, with a twist. "As a teenager, David Henry Sterry worked as a prostitute, servicing rich, lonely women in the Hollywood hills. Now aged 45, the former sex addict tells all in his no-holds-barred memoir." His book is called Chicken, apparently a play on both "slang for a teenager who engages in sex for money" and Sterry's job at a fried chicken restaurant. Once the book promotion winds down, Sterry is planning "his own one-man show" later this year.
