Wonder Bread & Ecstasy: The Life and Death of Joey Stefano

From: $10.36

Video pornography has been a staple of gay male culture for decades, but there is little written about the people who perform or produce this entertainment. Charles Isherwood has written a modern tragedy about the life and death of porn star Joey Stefano. After a rapid climb to the top, Stefano died of an overdose at age 26. Isherwood is a good reporter who holds no illusions about the porn industry. Ecstasy and Wonder Bread is both a hard-hitting expos? of an industry that uses people up and then spits them out and a sympathetic portrait of a young man whose desire for attention and fame was equaled only by his inability to say no.

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 10, 2006 Type: User Review A Parable for Our Gay Times

With the explosion of porn distribution on the net and the constant rise and fall of "stars" being basically anyone paid to be naked for an orgasm in front of a camera at any time in their lives, the story of Joey Stefano is a cautionary tale that...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 18, 2006 Type: User Review Why?

The only thing that I got out of this book what that Joey Stefano broke the glass celing in the porn world for being a bottom. It is his life story but it is just the same: A troubled kid with a drug, sex, and alcohol problem. I would have like to...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 05, 2006 Type: User Review Sad story. Not a tragedy...

What I got out of this was a portrait of a beautiful, self-involved, rather self-indulgent young man who gave in to his weaknesses and lack of motivation or ability to do anything aside from relying on his looks and sexual prowess. As such...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 06, 2005 Type: User Review A Tragic Life Revealed.

The first time I saw Joey Stefano in film I was overwhelmed by his beauty, his body, his sexual appetite, and his vulnerability. I think that vulnerability; that good boy/bad boy persona that was able to reach out beyond the screen is what made...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 11, 2005 Type: User Review You sir are no Norma Jean.

I'll cut some slack for this being Isherwoods first book but alas ther is nothing to see here. His Norma Jean approah to Nick Iaconna life is cliche' at best. To Isherwoods credit he does include morsels of what was going on in gay culture at the...
