Hat Tip for MONEY SHOT
There is a mention of MONEY SHOT in this Salon article - Femininjas: Women in fiction fight back. Glad to be in such stellar company, but I'm not so sure I like the way they phrased the line:
"In other books, (the danger) is an entire culture-California’s porn movie industry in Christa Faust’s Money Shot"
I think that's a little misleading. The entire porn biz isn't the "danger" in the story, it's really just a few bad guys connected to sex slave trafficking. The porn business itself is portrayed, I thought, in a very balanced way, populated (like every business) by all different kinds of people, good, bad, or somewhere in between. Angel has both positive and negative feelings and experiences in the industry. I hate to think that someone would read that book and come away with the idea that the porn industry is inherently bad or dangerous.
Or am I maybe misreading the author's intentions with this line? Thoughts?
