Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Lynsey G. never imagined that she would ever work inporn, but at 24 years old, with a degree in English literature and an empty bank account, she found herself reviewing the filmEast Coast ASSaultfor an adult magazine in New York City.One interview later and it was official: she was apornjournalist. The job was supposed to be temporary just a paycheck until she could spark her legitimate writing career but she loved it and spent nearly a decade describing the nuances of money shots and the effectiveness of sex toys. As both a pornconsumer and aporncritic, she was not quite an insider, not quite an outsider, but came to know the industry intimately.She found it so fascinating that she co-foundedWHACK Magazine.Finally, she had a platform to voice her thoughts and observations of the adult film world, as well as educate the rest of us about what really goes on behind the scenes.Eventually, Lynsey was thrust back into the real world, but not before realizingthat one of themost diverse and nebulous and profitable industries on the planet isn t so quite as different from the rest of the world as she thought.

Tantalizing, eye-opening, and witty, WatchingPornis a provocative book about an average girl s foray into thepornindustry and the people who make it what it is.

Synopsis

One feminist s candid account of her unexpected adventure in the world of porn as a journalist and discovery of an industry that is more nuanced than she ever imagined.

Lynsey G. never imagined that she would ever work in porn, but at 24 years old, with a degree in English literature and an empty bank account, she found herself reviewing the film East Coast ASSault for an adult magazine in New York City. One interview later and it was official: she was a porn journalist. The job was supposed to be temporary just a paycheck until she could spark her legitimate writing career but she loved it and spent nearly a decade describing the nuances of money shots and the effectiveness of sex toys. As both a porn consumer and a porn critic, she was not quite an insider, not quite an outsider, but came to know the industry intimately.

She found it so fascinating that she co-founded WHACK Magazine. Finally, she had a platform to voice her thoughts and observations of the adult film world, as well as educate the rest of us about what really goes on behind the scenes.Eventually, Lynsey was thrust back into the real world, but not before realizing that one of the most diverse and nebulous and profitable industries on the planet isn t so quite as different from the rest of the world as she thought.

Tantalizing, eye-opening, and witty, Watching Porn is a provocative book about an average girl s foray into the porn industry and the people who make it what it is.
