Memoirs of a Not Altogether Shy Pornographer

Louis R Galt is a down-on-his-luck intellectual who stumbles into a new career: writing pornographic novels. He approaches the work with a detached, anthropological eye, but soon finds himself entangled in the absurd world he's documenting. This sharp, satirical novel explores the lines between art and commerce, observer and participant. It's a funny and cynical look at American society's hangups.
