«Baise-moi» is the novel by Virginie Despentes published by Distribooks in paperback (248 pages, in French).
Manu and Nadine, fed up with a life that mistreats them, decide to stop being victims and force their own destiny. What starts as an outburst of rage becomes a spree of robberies and settling scores with no turning back. With a dry, uncompromising tone, the novel portrays violence as a response to a society that oppresses women.
The novel was originally published in 1993; this 2002 French edition offers the complete text. It has been translated into some twenty languages.
Intended for readers with a level of French interested in contemporary French literature and transgressive fiction.
Virginie Despentes is a French author, screenwriter, director, and actress. She is known for her work exploring gender, sexuality, and people who live in poverty or other marginalised conditions.
