‘I write from the realms of the ugly, for the ugly, the frigid,
the unfucked and the unfuckables, all those excluded from the great
meat market of female flesh, and for all those guys who don’t
want to be protectors, for those who would like to be but don’t
know how, for those who are not ambitious, competitive, or
well-endowed. Because this ideal of the seductive white woman
constantly being waved under our noses – well, I’m pretty sure
it doesn’t exist.’   Powerful, provocative and
personal, King Kong Theory is a candid account of how the author of
Baise-moi came to be Virginie Despentes. Drawing from personal
experience, Despentes shatters received ideas about rape and
prostitution, and explodes common attitudes towards sex and gender.
King Kong Theory is a manifesto for a new punk feminism, reissued
here in a brilliant new translation by Frank Wynne.
