In the first essay of the book, Despentes describes herself as "more King Kong than Kate Moss," saying she is "too aggressive, too noisy, too fat, too rough, too hairy, always too masculine." Later, in a section titled "King Kong Girl," she expands on this reading: The title is a reference to the 2005 film King Kong, directed by Peter Jackson. English-language editions have been published in 2010 by The Feminist Press (translated by Stéphanie Benson) and in 2020 by Fitzcarraldo Editions (translated by Frank Wynne). King Kong Theory is a book by filmmaker and novelist Virginie Despentes, first published in French in 2006 by Grasset. ![]() ![]() 2006 book by filmmaker and novelist Virginie Despentes ![]()
