The play, the full title of which is \u003ci\u003eUp Your Ass Or From the Cradle to the Boat Or The Big Suck Or Up from the Slime\u003c\/i\u003e, marches out a cast of screwy stereotypes: the unknowing john, the frothy career girl, the boring male narcissist, two catty drag queens, the sex-depraved housewife, and a pair of racialized pickup artists, among others. At the center is protagonist Bongi Perez--a thinly veiled Solanas--a sardonic, gender-bending hustler who escorts us through the back alleys of her street life. The fictionalized predecessor to \u003ci\u003eSCUM Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e, the play shares the same grand, subversive, implicative language, equally spitting and winking, embracing the margins, the scum, and selling a trick along the way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Solanas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3956796055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783956796050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Valerie Solanas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993838878975,"sku":"9783956796050","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f7e31dc-ab21-4480-abde-8aa1e9b3f6e4.jpg?v=1683326616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/up-your-ass-valerie-solanas-9783956796050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
