Description

A Common Pornography explores the fragmented world of youthful memories in a style at once spare, haunting, and uncomfortably nostalgic. Kevin Sampsell's daring and creative style of memoir is peppered with insightful (perhaps distracting) footnotes by Mike Daily and ethereal photo-colleges by Melody Owen to create a literary montage unlike anything of recent memory.

Reviews

"This is a heartbreaking and magnificent book....I am reminded of Denis Johnson's "Jesus' Son". This is the kind of book where you want to thank the author for helping you feel less alone with being alive." -- Jonathan Ames, author of Wake Up, Sir! and The Double Life is Twice as Good
