By Jonathan Valelly Verified| Broken Pencil Verified Porn WorkHeather Berg, 256 pgs, University of North Carolina Press, uncpress.org, $22.95Every porn scene — and there are millions — is a record of people at work. This is the premise behind Heather Berg’s cohesive and fascinating account of the labour economies that form the adult entertainment industry. It’s a straightforward conceit: the production of X-rated videos requires work to be performed by various professionals, especially the on-screen performers.
By Jonathan Valelly Verified| Broken Pencil Verified Behind the DrywallArtzine, Nikki Reimer & Andrea Mackenzie Engele, 20 pgs, Gytha Press, gythapress.org,$9.25 A striking, symmetrical Art Deco-inspired geometry peers out from this zine’s cover. Underneath the methodical, almost Futurist composition is something more human, however. An mage fragment shows a woman on a horse, perhaps a vintage shot from the Calgary stampede.
By Jonathan Valelly Verified| Broken Pencil Verified Sage Pantony, 56 pgs, sagepantony.com, $7Sex stories are like dreams, in that their recounting is usually much more exciting for the teller than for the audience. Sage Pantony valiantly tries to buck this fate in this zine, a collection of short chronicles of mishaps and lessons learned over their handful of years engaging with the fetish community. These episodes are punctuated with the occasional poem, plenty of commentary, and no images in sight — a perzine with substantial literary flair.
