Sing it brother. I've used the chapter from Studs Terkel's /Working/ 
"From Call Girl to Streetwalker" in my portfolio class (as a genre 
similar to a professional narrative, which we ask our students to 
write), and it's really illuminating. And I have had students recently 
who as a result of addiction have worked as prostitutes. So, yeah, sing 
it, brother.
