Prisoner of X makes New York Times, Rolling Stone, NY Post, NY Daily News, Spin, Black Book!

Prisoner of X is hustling up some fabulous new press!

The New York Times did a feature story and interview with Allan MacDonell.

It's been covered twice in one week in the New York Post:

The Bob Livingstone story is covered in the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Lloyd Grove covered the excitement of a possible Ted Turner/Jane Fonda threesome sex tape as mentioned in Prisoner in the New York Daily News Daily Dish.

Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone calls Prisoner of X
"a luridly entertaining memoir... MacDonell strives to balance the sleaze with dry wit and genteel wordplay and often strikes gold."

Mike McPadden of BlackBook says, "The scabrous, cleverly funny new memoir Prisoner of X chronicles author Allan MacDonell's rise to creative director at Larry Flynt Publications. MacDonell lays the whack-off industry bare... All that's missing is a scratch-and-sniff centerfold."

And Spin's David Peisner tells of Prisoner of X: "Few books open a chapter with 'Visions of anus were plaguing me' and mean it literally. But as former Hustler editor MacDonell's memoir makes clear, the porn mag exists in its own alternate universe."

And Chuck Palahniuk, author of the modern classics Fight Club and Choke, says that "Prisoner of X is hours of guilty pleasure that pass like seconds. Here's the unsafe, hook-up sex of memoir. You'll need to indulge before the restraining orders pull this great book off of store shelves."

Congratulations, Allan MacDonell!
