A lot it turns out. Acclaimed as one of Wolfgang Hilbig's major works, \u003ci\u003eThe Females\u003c\/i\u003e finds the lauded author focusing his labyrinthine, mercurial mind on how unequal societies can pervert sexuality and destroy a healthy, productive understanding of gender. It begins with a factory laborer who ogles women in secret on the job. When those same women mysteriously vanish from their small town, the worker sets out on a hallucinatory journey to find them. Powerful and at times disturbing, \u003ci\u003eThe Females\u003c\/i\u003e leaves us with some of the most challenging, radical, and enduring insights of any novel from the GDR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolfgang Hilbig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931883769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931883764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Two Lines Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Wolfgang Hilbig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044633309439,"sku":"9781931883764","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c56a6b20-5efd-427e-b655-2238777d3d18.jpg?v=1684973977","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-females-wolfgang-hilbig-9781931883764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
