Review of : A Common Pornography by Kevin Sampsell


I'm usually not one for memoirs but this did a fine job of keeping me engaged, mostly due to the short chapters (most no more than two pages). I would have liked to have read more of Sampsell's meditations on his family and their unique household. Most of his ruminations about his less than stellar father were all kinda jammed into the end when his father died but I found those 20 pages or so chronicling his father's death and funeral to be the most honest and gripping of the entire book.
