{"product_id":"females","title":"Females","description":"\"Everyone is female, and everyone hates it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo begins Andrea Long Chu's genre-defying investigation into sex and lies, desperate artists and reckless politics, the smothering embrace of gender and the punishing force of desire. Drawing inspiration from a forgotten play by Valerie Solanas-the woman who wrote the SCUM Manifesto and shot Andy Warhol-Chu aims her searing wit and surgical intuition at targets ranging from performance art to psychoanalysis, incels to porn, and even feminists like herself. Each step of the way she defends the indefensible claim that femaleness is less a biological state of women and more a fatal existential condition that afflicts the entire human race-men, women, and everyone else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Or maybe she's just projecting. A thrilling new voice who has been credited with launching the \"second wave\" of trans studies, Chu shows readers how to write for your life, baring herself with a morbid sense of humor and a mordant kind of hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2019\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Verso Books\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: English \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 106\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9781788737371\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 1788737377\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrea Long Chu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44558702248202,"sku":"","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781788737371.jpg?v=1684323238","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/females","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
