"For the author, pornography is a crucial expression of modern culture and a severe contradiction of the best natural instincts of men and women. She takes us through the texts of pornographic books, the plots and images of x-rated movies, and the pages of innumerable magazines to build an argument that grows steadily in originality and power. "Pornography and Silence" becomes in the range and depth of its thinking, a profound book about modern society and its often twisted values - a book that can change the way we look at the world and the relation between man and women.".
