Download or read book The Pornographer written by John McGahern and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provocative novel by 'one of the greatest writers of our era' (Hilary Mantel) and 'the Irish novelist everyone should read' (Colm Tóibín). Michael, a writer of pornographic fiction, creates an ideal world of sex through his two stock athletes, Colonel Grimshaw and Mavis Carmichael, while he bungles every phase of his entanglement with an older woman who has the misfortune to fall in love with him. But his insensitivity to this love is in direct contrast to the tenderness with which he attempts to make his aunt's slow death in hospital tolerable, while his employer, Maloney, failed poet and comic king of pornographers, comes gradually to preside over this broken world. Everywhere in this rich novel is the drama of opposites, but, above all, sex and death are never far from each other. 'Wise and compelling ... Elegiac and graceful.' David Mitchell 'I have admired, even loved, John McGahern's work since his first novel .' Melvyn Bragg 'A marvellous novel, deep, moving, rich and resonant, about love, lust, life and death.' Sunday Express 'A novel that succeeds beautifully in doing what it sets out to do; to record and illuminate varieties of disenchantment.' Times Literary Supplement 'An admirable book, one of the finest I have read for a long time ... I cannot recommend Mr McGahern too strongly.' Sunday Telegraph
Book Synopsis The Pornographer's Poem by : Michael Turner
Download or read book The Pornographer's Poem written by Michael Turner and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a grade seven student living in an affluent suburb of Vancouver, our unnamed narrator and his closest friend Nettie, are introduced to the exciting world of super-8 filmmaking by a progressive young teacher. Together Nettie and the narrator find in film a means of expressing their somewhat skewed world views. At the age of sixteen the narrator shoots his first adult film, surreptitiously capturing his neighbours having sex. He believes that through representations of sexual activity he can comment on that which he finds both painful and confusing. Nettie, an idealistic poet now away at school, sees in pornography the opportunity to do something artistic, liberating, and socially relevant, and she pushes the narrator to make films that subvert the way the world is constructed. Ultimately, despite his radical intentions, the narrator falls into a world of greed, delusion, and hypocrisy - the same world he once rebelled against.
Book Synopsis The Pornographer's Daughter by : Kristin Battista-Frazee
Download or read book The Pornographer's Daughter written by Kristin Battista-Frazee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than forty years after Deep Throat arrived on the cultural scene and inspired a sexual revolution, questions about the ethics of pornography and its impact on society are still being asked today and remain as controversial as ever. Kristin Battista-Frazee was only four years old in 1974 when her father, Anthony Battista, was indicted by the federal government for distributing the now famous porn film Deep Throat. As her father unexpectedly became an early pioneer in the emerging porn industry and transformed himself from Philadelphia stockbroker to porn broker, this indictment threatened his family’s stability. The stress drove Kristin’s mother, Frances Battista, to worry endlessly if her husband would be put in jail. She became so depressed that she attempted suicide. Kristin survived this family trauma to live a surprisingly normal life. But instead of leaving the past behind her, she developed a burning curiosity to understand her family’s history. Why did the federal government so vehemently prosecute this case? And why did her father get involved in distributing this notorious porn film in the first place? Did the influence of pornography in fact make Kristin a better person? Answering these questions and reconciling her dramatic family history with her life as a wife and mother became her mission. The Pornographer’s Daughter is an insider’s glimpse into the events that made Deep Throat and pornography so popular, as well as what it was like to come of age against the backdrop of the pornography business.

Book Synopsis Angela Carter: Surrealist, Psychologist, Moral Pornographer by : Scott Dimovitz
Download or read book Angela Carter: Surrealist, Psychologist, Moral Pornographer written by Scott Dimovitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributing to the conversation regarding Angela Carter's problematic relationship with what she viewed as the interrelated traditions of surrealism and psychoanalysis, Scott Dimovitz explores the intricate connections between Carter's private life and her public writing. He begins with Carter's assertion that it was through her "sexual and emotional life" that she was radicalized, drawing extensively on the British Library's recently archived collection of Carter's private papers, journals, and letters to show how that radicalization happened and what it meant both for her worldview and for her writings. Through close textual analysis and a detailed study of her papers, Dimovitz analyzes the ways in which this second-wave feminist's explorations of sexuality merged with her investigations into surrealism and psychoanalysis, an engagement that ultimately led to the explosively surreal allegories of Carter's later, more complex, and more accomplished work. His study not only offers a new way to view Carter's oeuvre, but also makes the case for the importance of Angela Carter's vision in understanding the transformations in feminist thinking from the postwar to the postfeminist generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “No one writes of sex and dark souls like MJ. Another engrossing waltz of hit women, lost loves and breathless action.” —Eric Jerome Dickey, author of Sleeping with Strangers and Waking with Enemies (both reaching #9 on the New York Times bestseller list in 2007) Following the death of a minor league writer, a mysterious woman whose own past is full of contradictions is called in to investigate his life and to discover the lost manuscript of his memoirs, as they may incriminate VIPs. Her journey of discovery becomes a dazzling and a confusing exploration of the nature of autobiography and the awful grey zones between truth and the art of fiction. As she encounters all the women who knew him, she realizes every one has a different story to tell and the only thing they have in common is that the writer loved them all. So who was he really? A man who was addicted to women? A romantic? A compulsive Don Juan? A serial adulterer? A pornographer? A lost soul? A liar? Does the book he is believed to have written even exist? With every new revelation comes more questions. Confessions continues the fast-paced excitement of the hard-bitten detective Martin Jackson and Cornelia, his beautiful stripper and hit-woman client introduced in iBooks' Skin In Darkness published in 2006.

Download or read book The Pornographer of Vienna written by Lewis Crofts and published by Old Street Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Underage whores, opium pipes and absinthe chasers. . . . Thoroughly researched, and well described. The author is bewitched by his subject’s decadence and by the period’s historical detail.”—Financial Times “[Lewis] Crofts’s debut doesn’t shrink from depicting the squalor of Schiele’s existence and powerfully evokes his uncompromising talent.”—Guardian “Utterly engrossing. I was drawn into Schiele’s reeling world with its reek of wet paint and sex.”—Jon McGregor, author of If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things “Lewis Crofts’ poignant debut captures the turbulence, the vividness and the tragedy of Egon Schiele’s life with rare skill and empathy.”—Liz Jensen, author of The Ninth Life of Louis Drax A Vogue magazine recommended summer read. A Metro newspaper fiction title of the week. The Pornographer of Vienna is an acclaimed fictionalized life of Egon Schiele, the great Austrian artist and protégé of Gustav Klimt. Publicly shunned by the very same establishment figures that secretly clamor to buy his erotic, explicit work, Schiele lives a short, intense life against the richly evoked backdrop of the absinthe-soaked, decaying last days of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In a first novel of rare descriptive power and empathy, fuelled by a blend of research and literary imagination, Lewis Crofts succeeds in evoking the man as well as the artist. The result is a masterful, at times heart-breaking, portrayal of Austria’s most decadent and most misunderstood painter, and of the city that both inspired and destroyed him. Thirty-year-old debut novelist Lewis Crofts lives in Belgium.
