Sam Benjamin is the author of American Gangbang: A Love Story.
"A delicious combination of racy, raunchy and radical--a sex story
with a conscience." --"Kirkus"
"Fascinating . . . A disturbing and remarkable debut."
--"Publishers Weekly"
"For an eye-opening (and occasionally eye-covering) descent into
the underworld of porn, you couldn't ask for a better Dante than
Sam Benjamin. Possessing a charismatic voice, equal parts lusty and
lovely, he's the wheatgrass-juicing, camera-zooming, over-sharing
heart of this hilarious, occasionally horrifying memoir."--Andy
Greenwald, author of "Miss Misery "and "Nothing Feels Good: Punk
Rock, Teenagers, and Emo"
"If you threw Tom Wolfe, Groucho Marx, Ilsa She-Wolf of the SS and
the cast of Porky's II together in a Burbank motel room with a
camcorder and a mattress soaked with amyl nitrate and they all had
an orgy, and that orgy wrote a book, it would be "American
Gangbang"--a sleazy goofball romp of surprising wit, with an
endearingly gooey center."--Cintra Wilson, author of "Colors
Insulting to Nature "and "Caligula for President: Better American
Living Through Tyranny"
"Remarkably, Sam Benjamin has written a book that will appeal to
porn enthusiasts, anti-porn crusaders, and the millions of who find
themselves stuck in the middle. Sure, "American Gangbang" is filthy
and over-sexed; it's also deeply conflicted and at times,
unsettling. But the real shock is how much anyone can relate in
spite of all the fake tits and endless flowing lube. In "American
Gangbang, " as in life, smut just kind of happens. In that, it
looks an awful lot like love."--Bethlehem Shoals, founder of
FreeDarko.com and co-author of "The Undisputed Guide to Pro
Basketball History"
"Sam Benjamin has written the seemingly impossible: a memoir about
making porn that is utterly hilarious and only a tiny bit
tragic."--Rev Jen, author of "Elf Girl"
"Sam Benjamin is as agile a sleaze sherpa as a reader could hope
for, guiding us through the porno landscape in all of its
revolting, transcendent glory. As a matter of course, this memoir
brims with heart, humor, passion and precision - and unwavering
candor."--Grace Krilanovich, author of "The Orange Eats Creeps"
"This cumming of age tale is the quintessential American story.
Young man has a dream. Works hard. Rises to the top. Bottoms out
when he finds the top is filled with filth and hardcore
degradation. Shockingly honest, whip smart, funny and disturbing,
Sam Benjamin exposes the gaping chasm between fantasy and reality
when it comes to filming sex for money. Imagine "The Graduate" if
the hero dove into porn instead of Mrs. Robinson."--David Henry
Sterry, author of "Chicken: Self-Portrait of a Young Man for
Rent"
One of the Sexiest Books of the Year. "San Francisco Bay
Guardian"
