The meteoric rise and sudden, dramatic fall of a young gay male porn star. ( )

Trashy and written in an over-the-top bitchqueen style. The subject of the biography's not all the likeable, true, but still. ( )

Drugs, Sex, and Unbridled Ambition: These were the main ingredients in the lethal cocktail that killed gay porn's brightest star, Joey Stefano. As pornography's marketable gay face and body, he was filmed having sex in more than 35 hard-core videos, danced an unforgettable striptease in clubs across America and Europe, and hustled his way through thousands of dollars paid to him by clients around the globe. But none of this filled the void inside Nicholas Iacona, a.k.a. Joey Stefano. From his childhood in the country's heartland to his tragic rise and fall in Los Angeles's dark and dangerous world of gay porn, Wonder Bread and Ecstasy paints a grim portrait of American life gone berserk.

Ik kende Joey Stefano niet, maar door markleon heb ik mij het boek aangeschaft. De wereld van Pornosterren is blijkbaar nog tragischer dan dat van hen die het bekijken. Het leven van deze zoekende jongeman is nuchter beschreven en ook de wereld waarin hij vertoefde en de mensen die hem omringden worden op een heldere wijze duidelijk. Je maakt samen met Joey Stefano de dolle rit door zijn leven. ( )
