The East Is Black (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781491755303)

"After years of ideological training, the Stasi agent with an eye on the gun scope thought of her as a fascist body he longed to socialize."

Len Bracken is a writer living in Washington, DC.

"Originally published by the porno-publisher Masquerade under the title Stasi Slut, this is the integral version of the story of Adina, a young, na?e country girl who, in the time of German unification, settles down in Berlin. She is developing herself from an East German secret police (STASI) toy, to an autonomous squatter. ... It is an optimistic, perverted adventure on the alleviation of alienation, a joy for readers and also a generous [bleep] to the ugly, angry puritan outside world."

-Fort van Sjakoo

"Political pulp fiction at its best."

-AK Distribution

"Delightful details abound, from the depiction of Adina's mother as a Catholic anti-Communist peasant, to the descriptions of filthy Berlin squats, to the graffiti which pops up like a Greek chorus to announce the story's anarchist intent. It is clear that while Bracken loves his sex, what he really desires is to encourage readers to engage in 'loving seditiously.'"

-A. Smith, Fifth Estate

"The East is Black stands as a prime example (perhaps the only one so far) of a new type of erotic novel, one where the social and sexual consciousness are uninhibited and integrated, free of strangulation from either a misguided political correctness or a reactionary puritanism."

-G.J. Krupey, Eidos
