"Thank God for Linda Williams! She is absolutely brilliant. I have learned an enormous amount from her over the years. She boldly goes where few academics dare. "Porn Studies" is a smart, much needed, fascinating book, which paves the way and sets the tone for future porn studies. This book boggles and blows my mind."--Annie Sprinkle, postmodern pornographer and sexologist
"For more than a decade now, Linda Williams has been taking porn seriously. Her latest--"Porn Studies--"does not disappoint. She succeeds, once again, in legitimizing porn as an essential topic for academic study and provides a guide for teaching about it. For all those who want to know more about the place of porn in American culture, this is refreshingly unabashed scholarship."---Susie Bright, author of" Mommy's Little Girl: On Sex, Motherhood, Porn, and Cherry Pie"
