I'm so female I'm subversive
5 stars
This book was absurd. Far more absurd than the blurb on the back led me to believe. I did not expect a book about Valerie Solanas when I picked it up. That was a surprise, and the good kind. I would recommend this book to anyone willing to talk seriously about absurd things and laugh at serious things. Someone for which gender is a mindfuck.

I hated being a man, but I thought that was just how feminism felt. Being a man was my punishment for being a man. Anything else was greed.

"Women ... don't have penis envy," Valerie fumes in SCUM. "Men have pussy envy." As usual she was right. Indeed, the castration complex is easily mistaken for the fear that one will be castrated; in fact, it is the fear that one, having been castrated, will like it.

This book began life as an essay on a forgotten play by Valerie Solanas called Up Your Ass. Solanas is mainly remembered for two things: self-publishing the SCUM Manifesto in 1967, a darkly funny polemic against the government, the money system, all men, and most women; and shooting artist Andy Warhol at his studio, the Factory, then located on Union Square West in Manhattan, in 1968.

another random find, this time at Bookshop Santa Cruz in the Gender Studies section. It was another staff recommendation, and based on the description I suspect I will either love it or hate it. But it's a short little book and should help kickstart my reading this year.
erin wants to read Bellwether by Connie Willis
Pop culture, chaos theory and matters of the heart collide in this unique novella from …
Found this one at Borderlands Books in San Francisco, CA. A staff recommendation tag caught my eye, specifically because the staff member in question had chosen a sacred chao as their image. I read their little recommendation blurb, then I read the back of the book, and it sounds weird and chaotic and interesting.
I'm unfamiliar with the author so I am otherwise going in blind on this one, I hope it turns out to be a good one.
