American Gangbang: A Love Story

A thoughtful, hilarious, and compulsively readable memoir by an Ivy LeagueÂ graduate-turned-pornographer who sets out to bring sophistication and equalityÂ to sexual cinemaâ€”only to find that he canâ€™t change porn, but porn can certainlyÂ change him.

American GangbangÂ heralds the arrival of a profound and gifted new voice inÂ narrative nonfiction. In 1999, after four years of studying at Brown University, Sam Benjamin headsÂ to California in a twenty-year-old Volvo, dead set on turning himself into anÂ artist, despite his complete lack of talent. There, stoned, he has an epiphanyâ€”he will make progressive porn.Â And so begins his turbulent journey. . . .

In whip-smart, lyrical prose, Benjamin traces his three-yearÂ immersion into the world of Hollywoodâ€™s bleak, screen glowâ€“lit doppelganger: the southern California sexÂ industry. His rapid ascent from the dingy storefront rental of a starving artist to the multimillion-dollar Malibu villa of a full-fledged porn producer confronts him with the uncomfortably alluring realities of America's strangest industry: gun-totingÂ actors, high on terrible, drug-induced potency; giggling actresses battling internal demons in wobbly heels andÂ pink fishnets; the insatiable consumer demands to sink ever lower, more exploitative,Â nastier. The result is the titillating,Â dramatic chronicle of a young man who invites the deepest, most troubling partsÂ of himself to rise to the surface in order to get a good look at themâ€”only to find that what he sees makes his world seem suddenly very small.

A provocative, universal coming-of-age story,Â American GangbangÂ explores with unflinching honesty the darkly rich junction of sex and self-discovery.
