King Kong Theory
Virginie Despentes
This powerful book explores modern beauty myths and challenges common attitudes about sex and gender. The author uses her own experiences in the porn industry and with rape and prostitution to create a space for those who refuse to obey societal norms. With humor and candor, the author provides a highly charged and thought-provoking account of women's lives today.

@mrchrisaddison @FitzcarraldoEds Try Joshua Cohen and Mathias Enard too. On the non-fiction side I'd recommend Maria Stepanova "In Memory of Memory": Vriginie Despentes "King Kong Theory"; and my all time favourite book "Second Hand Time" by Svetlana Alexievich. – source
