NOT SAFE FOR WORK by mestrin
Heywood Jablowme (not his real name) is the newest reporter for The Daily Pornographer, the industry's second best trade publication. Pumping out puff pieces on porn's premier players wasn't Heywood's original plan. He wanted to be a serious journalist, the kind who frowns on cheap alliteration.
When producer-performer Johnny Toxic is murdered, Heywood sees his chance to break a big story and get his career back on track. Now, all Heywood has to do is get a shady homicide detective to go on the record, keep his editor off his back by meeting his story quota, and figure out why the porn industry is suddenly losing money hand over fist.
So yeah, Heywood's odds of success are as long as a porn star's dong. Thankfully, he has the unwavering support of his roommate, Miles, a porn-obsessed wannabe screenwriter who guarantees he can sell the film rights before Heywood is either fired for competence or done in by the killer.
- Written with a keen journalistic eye and a wit drier than the Sahara, this is a fascinating, insightful and hilarious look at the porn business in the '80s. It teems with crackling dialogue and vivid, unforgettable characters. (AaronRubicon)
