Description
In this provocative collection, Chris Nieratko compiles his notorious Vice Magazine column into a wild, unflinching memoir that uses pornographic film reviews as a loose framework for something far more revealing. Rather than focusing on the films themselves, Nieratko delivers brutally frank and darkly comedic tales of excess, substance abuse, and sexual misadventure drawn from his own chaotic life. With over 150 purported reviews as the backdrop, the book becomes a candid exploration of hedonism, addiction, and the consequences of living without restraint. Nieratko's sharp wit and unfiltered voice create a narrative that is simultaneously shocking, hilarious, and deeply human—a testament to both the absurdity and tragedy of his experiences. This is not a conventional review collection, but rather a raw, unforgettable portrait of one man's descent into and eventual reckoning with a life of excess.
