"[An] entertaining debut. . . . These heartfelt meditations on
sexual shame in a heteronormative culture will enlighten readers of
all identities." -Publishers Weekly
"I loved David's journey to zero shame about his body, his
sexuality and himself. Damn Shame has my ideal combo of
racy, illuminating and idiosyncratic storytelling that transports
you into a stranger's life and mind. And-or beware-there is a lot
of penis!" -Alan Cumming, actor and author of Baggage:
Tales from a Fully Packed Life
"In Damn Shame, David Pevsner guides us through a
wonderfully appealing chronicle of his life as a performer, writer,
sex worker, nude model and a gay guy making his way on his own
terms. Rather than oversharing, he's a delightful host to the most
entertaining adventures." -Paul Rudnick, actor and author of
Jeffrey
"[Pevsner's] honest and emotional memoir, Damn Shame, sings
as it takes you through his awkward coming of age, his time as a
'mature model,' and his ongoing success in erotic art, as he's come
to embrace his own choices and feel comfortable in his own often
exposed skin. Bravo, David. Encore!" -Michael Musto,
journalist
"In deft, vivid prose, David Pevsner recounts his surprising
journey from awkward teen to musical theater phenom to part-time
male escort and fearless sexual advocate. Written with sly humour
and at times eye-popping candour, Damn Shame is a compelling
portrait of one gay man's struggle for self-acceptance in a country
that trumpets liberation but is all too beholden to its Puritan
past." -Doug Wright, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of I
Am My Own Wife
"Who could imagine that a book which deals unapologetically with
exhibitionism, LGBT ageism and sex work could be so filled with
charm and self-deprecating good humour?" -Charles Busch,
actor and author of The Tale of the Allergist's Wife
