“A sticky, smashed, sweaty, laughing too loud, broken teeth, drunker
than drunk adventure” from the filmmaker and author of the Vernon
Subutex novels (Bust Magazine). Baise-Moi is one of the most
controversial French novels of recent years, a punk fantasy that takes
female rage to its outer limits. The basis for a hit underground film
which was banned in France, Baise-Moi is a searing story of two women
on a rampage that is part Thelma and Louise, part Viking conquest.
Manu and Nadine have had all they can take. Manu has been brutally
raped and determines it's not worth leaving anything precious lying
vulnerable—including her very self. She teams up with Nadine, a
nihilist who watches pornography incessantly, and they enact their own
version of les vols et les viols (rape and pillage)—they lure men
sexually, use them up, then rob and kill them. Drawing from the spiky
cadences of the Sex Pistols and the murderous eroticism of Georges
Bataille or Dennis Cooper, Baise-Moi is a shocking, accomplished,
and truly unforgettable novel. “Pure payback . . . subversive and
exhilarating.”—Elle “Fuses triple-X porno, New Wave abandon, and
feminist revenge fantasy . . . Risky and different.”—The Mercury
News “A small revolution.”—L.A. Weekly “An underground
favorite that will be talked about for years.”—Female FYI
