A Common Ography

As a teaser to the forthcoming Kevin Sampsell week, here today in celebration of the release of his new book, A Common Pornography, Kevin offers some tips for that potentially awkward exchange at the bookseller’s counter, if you’re touchy about that kind of thing:

I’ll wait until Sampsell week to dig deeper into the pleasure of this book by my label-brother, but I can honestly there hasn’t been one that made me feel sentimental for awkward years and at the same time edging along the form of communicating that station, well, I can’t remember one ever. Kevin nails so hard a certain kind of maturation period, re: masturbation, weird fathers, prostitutes, porn, all delivered in a cleaner, simpler, but just as smart Lutz-ian style, you are going to really like ACP.

      Great, gorgeous read. Eminently readable. Made me feel sentimental for, um… the future?

      My manfriend impulsively bought a copy knowing nothing about it other than the title and he’s been devouring it. He’s usually not into memoir, but this one he won’t shut up about. I just want him to finish so I can read it.
