NEW YORK—The critically-acclaimed memoir Watching Porn: And Other Confessions of an Adult Entertainment Journalist from author, critic and filmmaker Lynsey G, is set for an official paperback release on June 26.
“Pornography may not really be that exotic or that cool, but it is just as interesting as I hoped it would be,” Lynsey G writes when recalling a career in the industry. “It has no agreed-upon leader, no formalized code of conduct, no entrance exam or standard for advancement. The only rule, really, is to follow the money in as safe a way as possible.”
Lynsey G, the former editor-in-chief of adult industry magazine WHACK! and Feminist Porn Award-winning director, has gathered her experiences and unexpected adventures into a story that grabs readers and takes them on a ride.
Lynsey G’s colorful account of the porn world earned the book, published by the Overlook Press, a spot on Chicago Reader’s list of Most Anticipated Books of 2017, Huffington Post’s “10 Buzzworthy Books from Memoirists and Essayists” and lauded by Kirkus Reviews as “thought-provoking … a cleverly seductive, straightforward, unapologetically carnal chronicle of an unconventional working life.”
Watching Porn also recently won the gold medal in the Sexuality/Relationships category at this year’s Independent Book Publishers Awards (IPPYs).
Watching Porn is currently available in hardcover at most North American booksellers, both brick-and-mortar and online, including such quality retailers as Barnes & Noble, Amazon, IndieBound, Powell’s, The Strand and Shakespeare & Co.
