Baise-moi

Book • 1999
This novel tells the story of Manu and Nadine, two women who, after Manu is gang-raped, decide to take revenge on society through a series of violent and sexual acts.

The book is a punk fantasy that pushes the limits of female rage, drawing inspiration from the spiky cadences of the Sex Pistols and the eroticism of Georges Bataille and Dennis Cooper.

It is a shocking and accomplished work that explores themes of violence, sexuality, and societal marginalization.
