Monika Herendy, a celebrated Hungarian pornographer, is looking to make her debut into the world of "legitimate" film in Michael Turner's American Whiskey Bar (Arsenal $15.95), a "faux memoir" about the unmaking of a film that incorporates the intense conversations of people seated at four different tables in a bar. Turner's resulting screenplay/novel is several books in one: a satire of the film industry and a story of sex, violence, lies, ambition, power, racism, dreams and regret.
