4.0 out of 5 stars a genealogy of porn/prostitution, May 31, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Whore Carnival (New Autonomy Series) (Paperback)
"Whore Carnival" is an interesting look at erotic discourse in the context of prostitution and the porn industry. Various interviews with strippers, porn stars, and prostitutes shed light upon an industry that many of us bawk at, yet love at the same time. Bell is not your typical run of the mill feminist lambasting the porn industry, rather, she takes a look at the powerful discourse given to the erotic in the various medium she addresses. the book is a humorous account of many serious subjects. a good read, but not for the morally light at heart.
