![]() ![]() I wouldn’t swap places with anyone because being Virginie Despentes seems to me a more interesting gig than anything else out there. ![]() And if I’m starting here it’s because I want to be crystal clear: I’m not here to make excuses, I’m not here to bitch. I write from the realms of the ugly, for the ugly, the old, the bull dykes, the frigid, the unfucked, the unfuckable, the hysterics, the freaks, all those excluded from the great meat market of female flesh. for far too long, writer and filmmaker Virginie Despentes’s autobiographical feminist manifesto is back-in an improved English translation-“blistering with anger, and so precisely phrased that it feels an injustice to summarize it” (Nadja Spiegelman, New York Review of Books). ![]()

![]() ![]() Harry and Janice, his wife of 22 years, live comfortably, having inherited her late father's Toyota dealership. This third novel of Updike's Rabbit series examines the life of Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a one-time high school basketball star, who has reached a paunchy middle-age without relocating from Brewer, Pennsylvania, the poor, fictional city of his birth. Subsequent printings, however, including trade paperbacks, feature the stripe motif with stock images of a set of car keys or an image of a late-1970s Japanese automobile. The first-edition hardcover "rainbow" dust jacket for the novel was designed by the author and is significantly different from the horizontal-stripe designs deployed on the other three Rabbit novel covers. Rabbit Is Rich was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction in 1982, as well as the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction in 1981. There is also a related novella, Rabbit Remembered (2001). It is the third novel of the tetralogy that begins with Rabbit, Run, continues with Rabbit Redux, and concludes with Rabbit at Rest. ![]() Rabbit Is Rich is a 1981 novel by John Updike. ![]() ![]() They doubt themselves, they doubt the choices they make and the ones they don’t. ![]() I would say that this is a story of people who are afraid of the consequences they must face in life. But happiness annihilates us: we lose our identity.’ In misery we seem aware of our own existence, even though it may be in the form of a monstrous egotism: this pain of mine is individual, this nerve that winces belongs to me and to no other. ‘The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness.
