NEW YORK — Former editor-in-chief of adult industry magazine Whack! Lynsey G’s newest book, “Watching Porn (And Other Confessions of an Adult Entertainment Journalist)” has received a glowing review by The New York Times Book Review.
“It’s not everyone’s idea of a lucky first break,” wrote NYT Book Reviewer Meghan Daum, “but as Lynsey G tells it … it turns out to be an ideal fit.”
Daum added, “As much as ‘Watching Porn’ is about bodies and sex, its core subject is work and money, specifically in the gig economy… [She] positions her book in part as cultural analysis of pornography’s complicated but inextricable relationship to social movements like feminism and queer (not to be confused with gay) visibility … [with] marvelous bits of erotic trivia.”

“I’m humbled and honored that the New York Times has not only reviewed Watching Porn — but liked it!” said Lynsey G. “I hope that this positive attention from one of the premier book reviewers in the world will help shed a light on the legitimacy of porn as a subject of cultural analysis, critique and celebration!”
The book has been named one of Chicago Reader’s “Most Anticipated Books of 2017,” and included among Huffington Post’s “10 Buzzworthy Books from Memoirists and Essayists.”
“Watching Porn” may be purchased at most North American booksellers, both brick-and-mortar and online.
