Sin-Ema is a filthy and hilarious tale of the sexual revolution. The year is 1971 and the place is Chicago, where Steve, our hero, is running a porn theatre in defiance of the laws of the land and anything close to decency. As the screen drips jism and pulsates with sex, the hottest action takes place among the theatre's motley staff and the demented, lust-crazed officials and customers Steve encounters.
SinEma Steve Shadow Books
I thought porn parody was a thing of the past when Chris Miller of National Lampoon fame stopped writing for them in the late '80's. Steve Shadow has re-invented the genre with Sin-Ema, a non-stop first person account of a young stud's adventures running an X-rated movie house in some previous time, probably the 1970's. There's no attempt at socially redeeming content or artistic merit as one over-the-top erotic interlude blends into another while the eternally erect Steve engages in the fantasies of every male adolescent. It's all straight-ahead hetero sex so fetishists, fans of B&D, S&M, plushies, etc. may be disappointed but for the 90% of 'normal' people this is, if you like this sort of thing, a real riot.And, oh yeah, if you do read novels like this with one hand, the other will have plenty to do as the sex scenes are explicit, varied and deal with things most people probably have never thought of, much less done. It's a way to enjoy your guilty pleasure while pretending to read something acceptable to your liberal, un-hungup friends. You can even recommend it when you're done.

SinEma Steve Shadow Books Reviews
Steve Shadow's "Sin-Ema" is full of the good "stuff".....one sexual adventure and twist after another. You are right there with Steve as he lives the life that most men only dream of....sexual exploits from one woman to the next. Better yet, he doesn't leave out any of the dirty details. The 70's sex scene featured in the story has me wanting to get my hands on a time-machine !!! In the meantime, I have "Sin-Ema" to add a little sexual charge.
Not for the prude. Read other reviews and sample passages before buying. Evokes sexual reminiscence and fantasy about the loose 70's-era morals filled with sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. So well written I had to put it down - my stamina isn't what it once was, but it's as good once as it ever was. While reading I kept thinking how easily it would adapt to a movie version.
In his proud anthem "Smut," the great Tom Lehrer celebrates his love of
"Smut!
Give me smut
And nothing but
A dirty novel I can't shut
If it's uncut
And unsubt-
-tle."
Tom, have I got a book for you. There are many adjectives that might be applied to Steve Shadow's debut tome Sin-ema, but "subtle" isn't likely to be one of them.
This book is like a lost work by Henry Miller, if Henry Miller was a grammatically challenged 13-year-old trying to impress his friends at a sleepover. It's really, really dirty; if the public were to take notice of it, it could set relations between the sexes back 50 years, and American literature back 200 years.
And yet...it's kind of a good book.
It was given to me by a friend, with a request from the author for a review. I was flattered, because even though I myself, badly in need of money, once wrote a porn novel--it was serialized, under a pseudonym, in Playtime magazine many years ago--I'm no expert on the genre. I'm not a porn consumer, partly because I don't need help to get distractingly turned on, and partly because...well, because at heart I'm a repressed, uptight Protestant, and porn embarrasses me.
But Shadow's Sin-ema, though it certainly embarrassed me, also entertained me. It's written with such adolescent exuberance that I couldn't keep a smile off my face while reading it, and about once a page it cracked me up.
The story couldn't be much simpler. The narrator gets a job managing an adult movie theater in Chicago in the early `70s. This leads to him having sex with lots of different people, in lots of different combinations. Things get out of hand. The end. Sorry I didn't give you a spoiler alert.
Sin-ema's sexual politics are decidedly and unapologetically from another generation, though it should be noted that here and there the narrator seems to show at least some, well, personal growth in that regard. The prose style is a train wreck, or rather, a series of train wrecks--each one caused by the runaway locomotive of the author's headlong narrative gusto.
And Shadow sure does like the word "sure." Every two or three pages, at most, somebody "sure looked well rehearsed and hot to trot" or "sure had a nice body for an older woman" or "had sure come out her shell." There's an absurd boyish charm to this tic. But for pure literary magic, I don't think that Shadow ever tops a turn of phrase in the very first paragraph, when the narrator describes one of his appendages being "knee-deep in her mouth." I found myself wondering by what scale of knee this was being measured--the narrator's, or the appendage's, if it had knees? This mental image alone was enough to make glad I cracked Sin-ema.
A bit of a speculative punt in the dark with this author and book. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had never heard of the author. A review on Goodreads from James Thane regarding one of his short stories had me prowling to check out his books. This one sounded a bit different and had 5 x 5 STAR reviews, wasn't too expensive so BOOM! Here we are.
I kind of thought it would be a bit more borderline #crimefiction, bearing in mind the illegality of the operation Steve was running, but it mainly focussed on his sexual exploits and adventures with staff, customers and even an adult film star. We did have some cop involvement, but where I was picturing kick-backs and pay-offs and raids, it was a slightly more sordid encounter with a pay-off of sorts.
Amusing, possible semi-autobiographical (Shadow spent time in the porn business in the 70s), probably exaggerated - in respect of Shadow's Olympian-esque stamina and readiness to go and go again, explicit, titillating and thankfully not too long either.
I enjoyed it without it being the best book ever. There's a limit to how many different sexual encounters a person may want to read about before becoming jaded. (In a lot of people's case, I'm hazarding - none.)
Shadow can entertain though and a lot of the events related had me chuckling, particularly the closing curtain on his cinema career. Definitely an author I will read again in the future but more crime related.
Not a book I could easily recommend to others.

This story did bring me back to 1970s Chicago and the mores of the time. As a baby boomer I must confess I was a willing participant in 70's activites. Lets hope Steve Shadow writes more books about Chicago. Being a native Chicagoan living in California I would most certainly enjoy it.
Thanks for the nostalgia Mr Shadow
