Synopsis:
For sixteen years Robert Rosen worked behind the X-rated scenes of such porn magazines as High Society, Stag, and D-Cup. In BEAVER STREET: A HISTORY OF MODERN PORNOGRAPHY, Rosen blows the lid off the lucrative and politically hounded adult industry, providing a darkly engaging account of its tumultuous decades--from the defining Traci Lords scandal and the conception of 'free' phone sex to the burgeoning success of smut in cyberspace in the twenty-first century.
About the Author:
Robert Rosen is the author of Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon, an international bestseller that's been translated into six languages, and the memoir Bobby in Naziland: A Tale of Flatbush.

Over the course of his career, Rosen has edited pornographic magazines and an underground newspaper, written speeches for the Secretary of the Air Force, and been awarded a Hugo Boss poetry prize.
