Asa Akira Memoir Believe it or not, I had never heard of the lovely Asa Akira until the recent press she's gotten over her new memoir, Insatiable. (The watercolor cover even made me mistake her for Sasha Grey for a moment.) I've never been much of a fan of porn star memoirs, or memoirs from 28-year-olds in general, so I have my biases. And in a Vice interview she warns, in regards to who she wrote the book for, that "I think the guys who like porn are either never going to jerk off to me again or jerk off to me forever after reading this book. I think more so the first one, but that is fine by me." That interview also calls her the "Queen of Anal," which is probably as close to respecting a royal title as I'll ever come, but nothing I've read so far indicates this is a story of an abusive, horrifying career. In fact she claims to have enjoyed herself throughout the years--aside from the occasional grim hazards of vigorous porn work. Any PU'ers ever read anything of value from porn stars beyond Twitter feeds and occasional blog posts? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hardcore Commie works." - Gen. Jack D. Rippper, Dr. Stranglove | |

^I have never read anyone's memoirs and don't plan to ever do that. I can't help but feel that it's impossible for someone to be objective when it comes to talking about themselves and their life so a memoir is basically just one version of the story. I have read the odd article by performers but most aren't very good and some are really awful. Of course from time to time you will find the rare jewel but don't ask me who wrote it or what is was about. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I was reading a lot at the time of the John Stagliano trial a few years ago, and both Aurora Snow and Lorelei Lee had some excellent pieces that they wrote about it. I doubt that I'll read Asa's book - just too much other good stuff to read these days - but I'm sure she'll sell a lot of copies and have fun doing signings. She's done quite well for herself, has directed a number of DVD's for Elegant Angel, though I suspect that she's on Hold as far as that goes, since she became a Wicked Girl not that long ago. | |
