This title in other formats:Sex, Lies, and Politicsby Larry Flynt
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:- Voted best guest speaker in 2002 on college campuses on First Amendment issues, Flynt continues to make the rounds and recently spoke at Harvard, Cornell, and Yale.- The 1996 film, The People vs. Larry Flynt made him a household name.- Will appeal to readers of Michael Moore, Bill O'Reilly, Al Franken and Bill Maher.- Flynt contains to make news--he's currently suing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the Department of Defense.- His Hustler Hollywood retail chain has stores in Los Angeles, San Diego, Cincinnati, with five new locations to come in 2003: Atlantic City, Ft. Lauderdale, New Orleans, Phoenix, and Columbus. Review:"There's a lot more politics than sex in Flynt's provocative polemic against conservatism in general and the Bush administration in particular — which just goes to show how exercised the Hustler entrepreneur is by current policies and trends. The first chapter deals with Flynt's rise from smalltown Kentucky to become what he calls a 'smut peddler with opinions'; the last chapter concerns his outspoken views on sex. In between he sounds a lot like Michael Moore and Al Franken as he 'Flynts' what he calls the hypocrisy of the political right. He blasts right-wingers for their attacks on liberal live-and-let-live values, the Bush administration for the Iraq war and Attorney General Ashcroft for post — September 11 policies that Flynt believes have stripped Americans of their civil liberties. All of this has been done elsewhere, including past Flynt books like An Unseemly Man, but Flynt's sharp edge keeps this polemic moving, tabloid-style. As U.S. opinion polls showed less support for the war in September 2003, 'Americans were waking up and smelling something other than the coffee.' Agent, Kim Dower. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:Voted best guest speaker in 2002 on college campuses on First Amendment issues, Flynt now offers his take on the state of Americans' Constitutional liberties.
