King Kong Theory

Powerful and personal, King Kong Theory candidly recounts Virginie Despentes’s journey to becoming a prominent figure in punk feminism. Drawing from personal experiences, Despentes challenges conventional notions of rape and prostitution that exclude broader ignored instances of sexual assault, exposing common attitudes towards sex and gender. This autobiography, a call for revolt, and a manifesto for a new punk feminism, is Despentes’s most beloved and controversial work. Frank Wynne’s brilliant new translation makes it accessible to English-speaking audience.
