There, stoned, he has an epiphany--he will make progressive porn. And so begins his turbulent journey... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn whip-smart, lyrical prose, Benjamin traces his three-year immersion into the world of Hollywood's bleak, screen glow-lit doppelganger: the southern California sex industry. His rapid ascent from the dingy storefront rental of a starving artist to the multimillion-dollar Malibu villa of a full-fledged porn producer confronts him with the uncomfortably alluring realities of America's strangest industry: gun-toting actors, high on terrible, drug-induced potency; giggling actresses battling internal demons in wobbly heels and pink fishnets; the insatiable consumer demands to sink ever lower, more exploitative, \u003ci\u003enastier\u003c\/i\u003e. The result is the titillating, dramatic chronicle of a young man who invites the deepest, most troubling parts of himself to rise to the surface in order to get a good look at them--only to find that what he sees makes his world seem suddenly very small. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A provocative, universal coming-of-age story, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Gangbang\u003c\/i\u003e explores with unflinching honesty the darkly rich junction of sex and self-discovery.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSam Benjamin is the author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Gangbang: A Love Story. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 12, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43154808700991,"sku":"9781476787978","price":27.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/1kBi2WryVT9781476787978.webp?v=1776959566","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/american-gangbang-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
