Mercês’s Reviews > Porn: An Oral History > Status Update

I was hoping and expecting something else from this book. The title really caught my attention and it seemed by the blurb of it, something that would approach the porn taboo and deconstruct it a bit, but honestly it has just been conversations transcripts with other people she knows… and it doesn’t delve deeper or tries to understand the topic

It’s interesting, I wasn’t expecting the structure of the interviews to be like this. I think sometimes Polly Barton gets a bit lost in the dialogue with the person she’s interviewing (and we kinda loose the plot)
