Description
>Fóllame es la polémica novela que, con apenas veinticinco años, llevó a la fama a Virginie Despentes, una historia en la que la literatura hardboiled se encuentra con el punk más nihilista.
Fue publicada en una treintena de países y su autora dirigió la adaptación cinematográfica, película que fue censurada en Francia y en otros territorios. Este Thelma y Louise en versión grunge es un relato descarnado de dos mujeres de humor feroz y amistad que roza el amor. Su historia es una granada; una bomba que hará estallar las mentes biempensantes.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Rape Me is one of the most controversial French novels of recent years, a punk fantasy that takes female rage to its outer limits.
Now the basis for a hit underground film which was banned in France, Rape Me is a searing story of two women on a rampage that is part Thelma and Louise, part Viking conquest. Manu and Nadine have had all they can take.
Manu has been brutally raped, and determines it's not worth leaving anything precious lying vulnerable -- including her very self. She teams up with Nadine, a nihilist who watches pornography incessantly, and they enact their own version of les vols et les viols (rape and pillage) -- they lure men sexually, use them up, then rob and kill them.
Drawing from the spiky cadences of the Sex Pistols and the murderous eroticism of Georges Bataille or Dennis Cooper, Baise-Moi is a shocking, accomplished, and truly unforgettable novel.
