King Kong-theorie
Een feministisch manifestVanuit de marges van de vrouwelijkheid schrijft Virginie Despentes voor haar medelotgenoten – de lelijke vrouwen, de te dikke vrouwen, de te mannelijke vrouwen, de vrouwen waar mannen niet van houden – en snijdt thema’s aan die nu, jaren na de verschijning in Frankrijk, nog steeds actueel zijn. Zo heeft ze het over genderongelijkheid en -stereotypen, verkrachting, porno en prostitutie. In dit korte maar krachtige, essay spat de boosheid ervan af en maakt Despentes korte metten met de manier waarop de maatschappij omgaat met mensen die buiten de norm vallen. ‘Een echte verademing, deze felle bevestiging van vrijheid.’ – LE MONDE ‘Vol van ontketende, vloeiende woede… Breekbaar, luidruchtig, niet bang voor verlegenheid en onmogelijk te bedwingen.’ – THE NEW YORK TIMES ‘King Kong-theorie is het soort boek dat je in de handen van iedereen die je kent wilt stoppen. Het boeit vanaf de eerste regels.’ –HARPER’S ‘Net als Simone de Beauvoir vóór haar heeft ze van haar leven een lang kritisch onderzoek naar gender en seksualiteit gemaakt, en haar trauma is eerder een feit van haar persoonlijke geschiedenis dan een delicaat porseleinen object.’ – THE NEW YORKER

King Kong Theory. Virginie Despentes
KING KONG THEORY is Despentes" candid account of how she became notorious: reviled and admired in equal measure for her rape-revenge novel turned film, Baise-Moi, she is the poster girl for modern female rebellion. Powerful, provocative and personal, KING KONG THEORY describes the ways her ideas have been shaped by her experiences of rape, prostitution and working in the porn industry. Feminist theory sheds its fusty image and takes on a punk mentality as Despentes claims that sisterhood explodes our belief in feminine perfection and creates a space for all those who can't or won't obey the rules.

Dear Dickhead
"The book of the moment" Sunday Times"Highly entertaining . . . subtle and complex" Guardian"Despentes at her very best" New European"Brilliant - funny, wise and completely addictive" VICTORIA HISLOP"Full of energy and blistering rationality" LISA McINERNEYDear Dickhead,I read the piece you posted on Insta. You're like a pigeon shitting on my shoulder as you flap past. It's shitty and unpleasant. Congratulations: you've had your fifteen minutes of fame! You want proof? Here I am writing to you. Rebecca Latté is a famous actress in her fifties, perhaps past the peak of her career. Oscar Jayack is a middle-aged, moderately successful author who, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, has been accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist-turned-feminist blogger Zoé Katana. When Oscar insults Rebecca's appearance on Instagram, she sends a scorching reply and the pair fall into a spiral of mutual antipathy. In back-and-forth emails, they vie for the last word, finding common ground in their experiences of addiction, assessing the changing world around them as Covid locks down Paris, and reluctantly beginning to lean on one another. A novel of rage, irreverence and vulnerability, exploring ageing, gender, privilege, addiction and consent, Dear Dickhead is an excoriating encapsulation of our times and of the broken human beings trying to make sense of it.Translated from the French by Frank Wynne

Liebes Arschloch
In diesem Roman nimmt sich Despentes der Themen unserer Zeit an - #MeToo und Social Media, Drogen, Machtmissbrauch, Feminismus. Drei Personen, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, treffen nach einem verunglückten Instagram-Post aufeinander - in einem fulminanten digitalen Briefroman des 21. Jahrhunderts: Rebecca, Schauspielerin, über fünfzig und immer noch recht gut im Geschäft; Oscar, dreiundvierzig, Schriftsteller, der mit seinem zweiten Roman hadert; und Zoé, noch keine dreißig, Radikalfeministin und Social-Media-Aktivistin. Ungeschönt, aber nicht unversöhnlich hält Despentes unserer Gesellschaft den Spiegel vor und tritt ein für Verständnis und Toleranz anstelle von Wut und Hass. Mit dieser Tour de Force durch gesellschaftliche Debatten und Konflikte behauptet Virginie Despentes klar ihre Position als eine der wichtigsten Autor:innen Frankreichs.

Dear Dickhead
Rebecca is in her fifties, a beautiful and successful actress past the peak of her career. Oscar is 35, a moderately well-known author who spends his time listening to rap music and trying to write a new novel. They were both nursed on the idea of the tortured artist and are experts in drug addiction, but they feel they may have to change their habits. Zoé is a feminist in her late twenties. She wants neither to forgive nor to forget. She is addicted to social media, and that is where she spends all her time. The three of them are not reliable. They are loud, opinionated and vulnerable. Until a friendship falls upon them and forces them to lay down their arms. A book of rage, anger and acceptance, Dear Dickhead presents a gallery of broken human beings dealing with their anguish and addiction as best they can. Like all books by Virginie Despentes, this is a text that, due to its strong essayistic dimension, faithfully captures the heart of an era.Translated from the French by Frank Wynne

Baise-moi - Fick mich
Nadine hat einen Mord begangen. Manu auch. Beide eher zufällig. Auf der Flucht begegnen sie sich, und beschließen, sich gemeinsam durchzuschlagen. Erst scheint alles gutzugehen, doch irgendwann eskaliert das Abenteuer. Virginie Despentes erzählt in diesem Roman, der 1999 in Frankreich erschien und ihren Ruhm als Skandalschriftstellerin begründete, ungeschminkt und radikal von anarchischer Lebenswut, von Drogen und Gewalt. Sie erzählt aber auch von einer intensiven Frauenfreundschaft, in der vor allem eines wichtig ist: unabhängiges, selbstbestimmtes Handeln, auch wenn es in den Abgrund führt. Der Roman und ebenso die Verfilmung unter der Regie von Virginie Despentes gerieten zum internationalen Skandal, aber die Themen, die sie hier setzte, beschäftigen die Autorin und unsere Gesellschaft bis heute.

King Kong Theory
Out of print in the U.S. for far too long, writer and filmmaker Virginie Despentes's autobiographical feminist manifesto is back-in an improved English translation-"blistering with anger, and so precisely phrased that it feels an injustice to summarize it" (Nadja Spiegelman, New York Review of Books).I write from the realms of the ugly, for the ugly, the old, the bull dykes, the frigid, the unfucked, the unfuckable, the hysterics, the freaks, all those excluded from the great meat market of female flesh. And if I'm starting here it's because I want to be crystal clear: I'm not here to make excuses, I'm not here to bitch. I wouldn't swap places with anyone because being Virginie Despentes seems to me a more interesting gig than anything else out there.Powerful, provocative, and personal, King Kong Theory is a candid account of how the author of Baise-Moi and Vernon Subutex came to be Virginie Despentes. Drawing from personal experience, Despentes shatters received ideas about rape and prostitution, and explodes common attitudes about sex and gender.An autobiography, a call for revolt, a manifesto for a new punk feminism, King Kong Theory is Despentes's most beloved and reviled work, and is here made available again in a brilliant new translation by Frank Wynne.

Vernon Subutex 3
Paris may burn, the world may crumble, but Vernon Subutex shall reign supreme! -The final installment of writer/filmmaker Virginie Despentes's Man Booker International Prize shortlisted punk-rock trilogy. The basis for the TV series of the same name available on streaming.As storm clouds gather, portending a final reckoning, ersatz rave-cult leader Vernon Subutex decides to return to Paris. Even if it means leaving behind his disciples. He has to. He's got a dentist's appointment.Back in the city, he learns that an old friend from his days homeless on the Paris streets has died and left him half of a lottery win. But when Vernon returns to his commune with news of this windfall, it's not long before his disciples turn on each other. Such good fortune does not accord with the principles Vernon has handed down.Meanwhile, the monstrous film producer Laurent Dopalet is determined to make Aïcha and Céleste pay for their attack on him, whatever it takes and whoever gets hurt. And, before long, the whole of Paris will be reeling in the wake of the terrorist atrocities of 2015 and 2016, and all the characters in this kaleidoscopic portrait of a city and era will be forced to confront one another one last time. In the wake of all this chaos and hate, the question will rise again: After all he's been through, who is Vernon Subutex? And the answer: He is the future.Virginie Despentes's epochal trilogy ends with Vernon Subutex 3-in fire, blood, and even forgiveness. But not everyone will survive to see the dawning of the golden age of Subutex.
