Pornucopia

October 07, 2005

Pornography is a form rife with easily-recognizable tropes. Strategic lighting, hokey music, and close-up camera angles all are a part of creating the aspirational and idealized world of porn. In October's Harper's Magazine, Frederick Kaufman takes a closer look at the cable channel he thinks is the most pornographic of all - The Food Network. Kaufman explains to Brooke how peach-pitting is made tantamount to foreplay.
