Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一部情节紧凑、内容丰富，暴力但却又不失幽默的小说。故事发生在1973年的盛夏，当时迪斯科乐风靡一时，而纽约黑帮也正值其势力的鼎盛时期。就在这样的社会背景下，失业建筑工人约翰·阿尔巴诺，却不得不为了养家糊口而四处奔波。除去平日里驾驶出租车外，在周末时，约翰还跑去地下成人影院卖门票，为黑手党成员艾迪·文托干活，而荧幕上所热映着的，正是近期遭到当局禁播的色情影片《深喉》。不巧的是，正是由于约翰的好心，他才不幸被牵扯进了一场危机四伏的纷争之中...就此，这个倒霉的家伙又不得不为了自己的性命，而展开一场跌宕起伏的故事。(AW)

Awards/获奖情况：Praise for JOHNNY PORNO:
Combine equal parts Mario Puzo and Elmore Leonard, throw in a dash of George V. Higgins and a pinch of Donald E. Westlake and who do you get? Charlie Stella, that’s who.--Robert Wade, San Diego Union Tribune
Mr. Stella is a natural. As soon as I finished Johnny Porno I gave the book to my son so we could both be wiser-guys. Now I’m going to find all his other novels. He’s a true master.--Dow Mossman, author of The Stones of Summer
Set in New York City in 1973, Stella’s vibrant seventh crime novel catches the cadence and daily grind of organized crime grunts … Stella tosses an eclectic cast of characters into the mix … admirers of Elmore Leonard and George V. Higgins will be happy.--Publishers Weekly
This is a hell of a novel. Epic, yet human scale... It s wonderfully fresh and alive.Craig McDonald, author fo Head Games and Print the Legend
Johnny Porno is a terrific Nixon Era crime caper reminiscent of Elmore Leonard. The story line is fast-paced, filled with action and violence, and stars a seemingly hapless chump struggling to survive in a cesspool. With the fun look at pop culture in circa 1973 enhancing the plot, readers, especially boomers, will enjoy Johnny Porno’s New York joy ride.--Harriet Klausner, The Mystery Gazette
...This has all the trappings of classic Stella – decent guys, wise guys of various standing in the mob, good/dirty cops, but most importantly, dialogue that makes you want to stand up and beg for more. Through Stella, you can practically smell the garlic on the breath of the wiseguys trying to intimidate, strain to hear cops jerking each other around through hot dog stuffed faces, wince at the lunacy of an ex-wife going off the deep end, and nod approvingly when someone does a decent thing for Johnny. Why Stella’s books aren’t flying off the main table at the front door of Barnes/Noble and Borders is, in itself, a crime.--East Coast Don, Men Reading Books
