Fast Forward: Confessions of a Porn Screenwriter by Eric Spitznagel
Blurb for the back cover:
“A humorous look in to something nobody cares about”
Believe it or not there are scripts written for porn films. Personally, I’m in the “or not” category, but Eric Spitznagel in his book Fast Forward: Confessions of a Porn Screenwriter enters the seedy porn industry as such a writer in an effort to pay the bills until his real scriptwriting career takes off. Along the way he meets some interesting people in the industry such as the producer who wants to make porn versions of Kurosawa films. Then there is the producer who keeps telling Eric he wants a twenty page script but not with too much dialog.
This isn’t a story about porn. This is a story about being out of place and trying to figure out how one fits in in a strange place.
Fast Forward was funny and a quick read. It’s a humorous look in to something nobody cares about. More importantly this book isn’t offensive. To those who are not particularly fond of the porn industry, this book is not full of depictions of graphic, gratuitous, dirty paragraphs describing erotic material.
Eric Spitznagel also writers for the Believer.

I'm so glad you reviewed this! I love reading Spitznagel's stuff on The Nervous Breakdown, but I've never thought of actually going out and finding one of his books. Now I don't even have to look too hard. Thanks!
