More Lost Girls

For Anyone that's interested i.e me, there is more on Lost Girls on Neil Gaiman's Blog, where he attaches the original introduction to the book. He talks about pornography vs erotica.

You probably won't read it, but in one paragraph he says "If it failed for me, it was only as smut; the book, at least in large black and white photocopy form, was not a one-handed read. It was too heady, dense and strange to appreciate or to experience on a visceral level. (Your mileage may vary; porn is, after all, personal.)"

There has in the last ten years or so been a large intellectualisation/legitimisation of the role of pornography in society, which this book is liekly to be an extension of. Maybe the pornographer's lobby commissioned it? If I buy this book, which is looking more likely every second, I will really try to avoid this type of argument and review it as the smut it is.
