Virgin Despentes · Sow Books · 2023
After the success of the saga Vernon subutex, the most punky of today's writers returns with an epistolary novel. The protagonists are Oscar, a writer and mediocre man in his forties canceled by the post #Metoo wave and Rebecca, successful actress in the past but now discriminated against due to age, who will receive the blow of the storm Zoé Catana, pure product of generation Z, feminist and addicted to the networks. Each of the characters has something from Despentes—Rebecca is directly inspired by her friend, the iconic and rebellious actress Beatrice Dalle—, of his life experience and the doubts that inhabit him: one's own responsibility for one's present and past acts, questioning them and the ability to change, seeing loved ones grow old and the fear of death. Zoé Catana highlights a radical feminism, universal i atemporal, but also a great vulnerability and the anxieties against the jungle that the networks represent, especially if you were a feminist. An uncompromising novel in the form of a mirror for our time and its contradictions. S.P.
