A raucous and revealing oral history, The Other Hollywood tells the story of how the porn industry got started with a $22,000 mafia investment in a film called Deep Throat, and how it mushroomed over the next quarter-century despite efforts by politicians, the FBI and others to bring it down.

And what a story it is! Epic, hilarious and moving, this book provides the one thing missing from previous accounts - a vivid, tragicomic, irresistable humanity.

Includes hundreds of celebrity stories featuring both porn stars and mainstream stars.

'Brilliantly constructed and compelling... not just the chronicle of the making of a dirty empire, but a look into the bowels of the American Dream." - Neil Strauss, author of The Game and co-author of Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love Like a Porn Star
