Art and Porn: An Interview with Editor Dian Hanson (Alternet)
Aug 7th, 2008 by Viviane
When you get your hands on something called The Big Penis Book, a 384-page hardcover featuring 400 artfully photographed, supersized phalluses, you have certain expectations. You expect that it will be a great book but not one that you will actually read. You expect that there are friends you’ll have to forbid from taking it into the bathroom with them. You expect it to be hot.
You do not expect one of its most intriguing features to be the woman who put it together.
Dian Hanson is the editor whose rich, informative prose and unusual background as a porn publisher nearly upstaged The Big Penis Book for me (it was, by the way, better than I expected).
