Peter Sotos Books

Peter Sotos offers an unprecedented examination into the peculiar motivations of sadistic sexual criminals. His works convey an uncanny understanding of myriad aspects of pornography, frequently focusing on sexually violent and child-related content. Beyond exploring these dark subjects, Sotos' writing often functions as social criticism, commenting on the hypocritical ways media engages with such issues. His prose delves into the hidden guises of sadistic and pedophilic impulses, often adopting the predator's point of view to explore these disturbing themes.

Jamie Gillis appeared in over one hundred films, and as such was a primary performer in pornography's "Golden Age." Gillis is also known for inventing the "Gonzo" genre of pornography, played out in the film Boogie Nights by Burt Reynolds' character.Pure Filth appears as transcripts from the films Jamie produced during these early years of radical and highly personal pornography. Completed just before his death in February 2010, Gillis contributed an introduction to each transcript to shed light on his ideas and plans, as well as anecdotal details and personal commentary. The book has more to do with an artist's understanding of sex than the mere views of a flesh peddler. The careful language and brutal intelligence that Jamie brought to interviews are what separates the conversations from any other work that might have more academic or prurient pretensions.Extreme novelist Peter Sotos, perhaps better known and appreciated in France and the United Kingdom than his home country, was a good friend of Jamie Gillis, and Sotos' unusual perspective makes this volume possible.
