A review by erynecki
My Father, the Pornographer by Chris Offutt

5.0

Okay, so the title is definitely an attention grabber and I want to be clear that the book is about so much more. Offutt writes of growing up in the Kentucky hills, of his relationship with his father, and what it means to be an author (and the son of a prolific author). I loved the first half of this book. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the second half, but some of the content was tough for me. The prose is brave and beautiful and stares straight into the face of some dark and haunting material.
