I encountered the book Females in conversation with Mia Hasluck. She told me that its ideas had moved her. She said I must read it. So I did. Long Chu’s ability to draw connections between theory and culture as a form of knowledge production and exchange is incredible. She uses language that is raw, vulnerable, vulgar, disorientating and sensitive. The phrase ‘He’s a machine a walking dildo’ references Chu’s all-time hero, Valerie Solanas, who asserts: we must destroy the male sex.
