Association for Mormon Letters
review by scholar Richard Packham:
“Of the dozens of recent books authored by those who escaped from polygamous groups, this one is unique and worth a read.”

Leading Mormon studies scholar Richard Packham has reviewed “It’s Not About the Sex” My Ass for the Association for Mormon Letters.

Packham opens by saying, “Several times while reading this book I burst out laughing. My wife said, ‘Isn’t that the book about polygamy? Polygamy isn’t funny!’ I had to assure her that yes, this was the book about polygamy, and that it was darned funny.”

He closes with “Of the dozens of recent books authored by those who escaped from polygamous groups, this one is unique and worth a read.”

(The stuff he wrote in between the open and close is good, too.)

Active Mormon participants trust the Association for Mormon Letters site, so we can appreciate the dilemma in which the book’s title placed Jeff Needle, the association’s reviews moderator. He diffused the dilemma with aplomb: “My apologies to any who are offended by the title. I’ve substituted asterisks to help those who are uncomfortable with rough language. This book is absolutely relevant to our audience. My thanks to Richard Packham for taking on this project.”

We think this line bears repeating: “This book is absolutely relevant to our audience.”
