50 Shades Of Sasha Grey: Porn Star Pens Erotic Fiction novel


Sasha Grey, whose post-pornstar career arc has never strayed too far from sex and now includes an erotic coffee table book called Neu Sex, an industrial rock band called aTelecine and well-received turns as the eponymous escort in Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience and Vinny Chase’s porn star boo in HBO’s Entourage, has now written – and sold – an erotic fiction novel.

According to Deadline Grey will make her fiction debut with The Juliette Society after securing a publishing deal from Grand Central Publishing in America and Little, Brown in the UK. The “mysterious and sensual” tome is being spruiked as a sexualised version of Fight Club – which either means it involves A) a sex club that no one can talk about or B) a mind-expanding denouement in which the protagonist realises they’ve been having sex with themselves this whole time.

“For the very first time I can create my own world, my own characters, my own story, and express my own vision with publishers who are just as passionate about the subject matter as I am,” Grey said in a statement. “I’m not interested in trying to reinvent the erotic novel, but I look forward to taking it back to its source as a salacious treatment of sex, particularly female sexuality, as something mysterious and sensual. Me sensual? Go figure!”

She basically said as much when Pedestrian interview her three years ago. Kudos for branching out, Sasha.
