Sara Pascoe - Böcker

The hilarious feminist account of the female body by the award-winning comedian'HILARIOUS' Daily Telegraph'Brilliant' Frankie BoyleSometimes Sara Pascoe confuses herself. She gets wildly and pointlessly jealous. She spends too much time hating her bum. And you know what she hates more than her bum? Her preoccupation with her bum. She's had sexual experiences with boys she wasn't really into, but still got a post-coital crush on them. She's ruined brand-new relationships by immediately imagining them going into reverse.There was so much about her behaviour that Pascoe wanted to understand. So she started researching what makes us - women - tick. And what she read made her eyes fall out of her face. Reader, here is everything science has to tell us about love, sexuality, infidelity, boobs, periods, pubes, broodiness, and clever old fat. Merry Christmas and Hallelujah! Suddenly being a woman doesn't look like such a minefield after all.'Fresh and honest.' GUARDIAN'Timely and intelligent.' THE TIMES'Funny, sad, angry, affronted, engaging and enlightening.' STYLIST

** THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 5 BESTSELLER **** FEATURED ON BBC ARTS' BETWEEN THE COVERS **Award-winning comedian Sara Pascoe turns her attention to the things that really matter to humans - sex, power and money.'A genuinely hilarious explanation of the science of sex' FRANKIE BOYLE'I've never read a book so fast and laughed so loudly while learning so much. Pascoe is a sage for our times.' DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, The Guilty Feminist Following her hit book Animal, Sara Pascoe decides to confront her fear of the male libido, and turns her attention to the things that really matter to humans, delving into such questions as:Why don't people care about the welfare of the people they masturbate to?andWhy is there such stigma around those who work in the sex industry?when Some women still want men to buy them dinner?In this comedic and educational hopscotch over anatomy, the history of sexual representation and the sticky way all human interactions are underwritten by wealth, Pascoe explores whether we'll ever be able to escape the Conundrum of Heterosexuality. Drawing on anecdotal experience, unqualified opinion, interviews and original research, Sex Power Money is thought-provoking and riotously funny: a fresh take on the oldest discussion.'Important, timely, poignant, mind-blowing and VERY FUNNY. Written with kindness, bravery and ridiculous attention to detail, it will make you feel cleverer without all the usual effort.' AISLING BEA
