There is more than one article on the portrayal of nuns in cinema. Apparently nunsploitation is a completely different genre of film than convent pornography.

In 1995, big-busted AV idol, Mariko Morikawa starred in director Sachi Hamano's Big Tit Monastery (巨乳修道院), another Japanese variation on the nunsploitation genre.[4]

Roth was motivated to explain the inspiration for the book after noticing what he referred to as a "serious misstatement"^[4] in the Wikipedia entry on The Human Stain, which "mentioned, in passing"^[5] that the book was "allegedly inspired by the life of the writer Anatole Broyard".^[4] Literary critics, such as Michiko Kakutani, Janet Maslin, Lorrie Moore, Charles Taylor, Touré, and Brent Staples, have made comparisons between character Coleman Silk and Broyard.^{[6][7][8][9][10]} Roth has said that this speculation is false.^[4][11] In 2008, he explained that he had not learned about Broyard's ancestry until after starting to write the novel.^[11]

Han purple in its pure form is actually a dark blue, that is close to electric indigo. It is a purple in the way the term is used in colloquial English, i.e., it is a color between red and blue. It is not, however, a purple in the way the term is used in color theory, i.e. a non-spectral color between red and violet on the line of purples on the CIE chromaticity diagram. Perhaps the most accurate designation for the color would be to call it Han indigo, although it could also be regarded as a bright shade of ultramarine (classifying ultramarine as a color and not a pigment).
