 Controversial French writer
Virginie Despentes achieved worldwide notoriety with her first book, ‘Baise Moi’. Even the title was shocking. It was made into a movie; a rape revenge fantasy which was initially banned in France – the first film for nearly 30 years to be censored. Now she’s written a new book – a polemical defence of feminism rooted in her own experiences of rape and prostitution. She’s a defender of prostitution and an advocate of pornography. She discusses her ideas with Jenni.
King Kong Theory by Virginie Despentes is published by Serpent's Tail, ISBN: 978-1846686429 |
