The Last Days of August

The Last Days of August Audiobook 

Jon Ronson has heard a number of stories in the past about different happenings because that has been his job i.e collecting stories. The man used to gather information about different incidents in the past after which he was given the duty to arrange and write everything down in a proper pattern.

During his career, the author has written several things about pornography and porn stars. The author didn’t want to mock anyone rather the main purpose of these stories was to tell the people about the reality behind the screen. In 2017 an adult film actress committed suicide and many thought that she did all that because she wasn’t performing well in the industry.

Her husband made contact with Jon after a while and he told Jon the truth about the death of his wife. August Ames posted a few things about porn professionals on the internet after which she was bullied a lot on social media. Those influential people mocked her to such an extent that she had no other way except to commit suicide.

Thus that mental torture was the actual cause of her death and it could be called murder because of that mental torture by the people linked to social media. The author wants us to see the true picture of the society that is worse than the world of pornography on certain levels. This is not the kind of killing that you watched in A Wanted Man because this one is real and it is surely not for the kids. The adults can understand this kind of thing and several people can mend their ways after listening to this in Ron’s voice.
