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 uniquely Hilbiggian, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Lines Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087077662871,"sku":"9781931883764","price":680.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781931883764.webp?v=1767639928","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-females-9781931883764","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
