Pandering

... Show More
In a stunningly candid and courageous memoir, the notorious Hollywood Madam tells her own story for the first time. From a lucrative babysitting empire at the age of 13 to a global network of call girls and customers that stretched from Los Angeles to Kuwait, Heidi Fleiss built and ran the most glamorous and obscenely successful sex business in history. Her spectacular rise and fall captivated the country in the early 90's, even as it terrified Hollywood's power elite. Featuring original text, wiretap transcripts, court documents, news clippings, diary excerpts, interviews with hookers, and fantastic original artwork, Heidi tells her story with a fierce regard for the truth. At turns political, passionate, poignant, funny, sexy, angry, outrageous, and wise, Pandering is arguably the bravest and most provocative visual memoir ever published � a book that will make headlines all over again.

An autobiography/resume of sorts by the infamous Hollywood madame. Her success provokes excessive attention, and she is aggressively prosecuted for this crime I believe to be (hopefully) victimless.

Nicht sehr reflektiertes oder aber eiskaltes Buch über Prostitution in höchsten Kreisen....

I did not like this book at all. It was just as messed up as the author is.
