We Did Porn

Alongside “fine artist” and “porn star” on Zak Smith’s unique résumé, you can now add the phrase “entertaining and resourceful writer.” The Yale-educated artist, who was featured in the Whit ney Biennial as well as in several alt-porn flicks, has a book about his turns in porn. It’s exhaustive, perceptive, empathic, and very funny. It also provides a long answer to what Smith dubs “the World’s Stupidest Question.” The short answer quickly follows, and it’s “to have sex with attractive women.”
