Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award, Transgender Nonfiction "A lucid meditation on desire as the force shaping our identities, the paradoxes of liberation politics, and her own gender transition." --Johanna Fateman, Bookforum "[A] brief and blazing treatise." --Thora Siemsen, The Nation "Reading Andrea Long Chu feels a bit like being on the fault line of an earthquake--the ground is undeniably shifting." --Callie Hitchcock, The New Republic "Beneath the veneer of Females' provocation, those indefensible ideas, it is a surprisingly tender book that aims to tend to a universal ache: the frayed knot of selfhood, desire and power through which, Chu argues, we might try to see ourselves and each other more clearly." --Marissa Lorusso, NPR "Gleefully contrarian." --The Believer "One of the most exciting critics working today." --Lila Shapiro, New York Magazine "[A] sweeping provocation, what fascinates is where it leads ... the flash of insight produced by a well-thrown-knife." --Julian Lucas, Harper's "Andrea Long Chu is one of the disrupters." --Stephanie Burt, Atlantic Monthly, Featured in The New York Times . "One of the most exciting critics working today." --Lila Shapiro, New York Magazine "[A] sweeping provocation, what fascinates is where it leads ... the flash of insight produced by a well-thrown-knife." --Julian Lucas, Harper's "Andrea Long Chu is one of the disrupters." --Stephanie Burt, Atlantic Monthly "A thrilling provocation, a funny and surprisingly tender memoir, a bold move, a dare. She's our most reliable trickster, and this is the book everyone will be talking about." --Andrea Lawlor, author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl " Females marks nothing short of a historic cataclysm in public discourse about gender and sexuality. In the grand tradition of the philosophes, Females is crucial not only because of what it is, but for the world of conversations it makes possible. When we talk about transness, when we talk about feminism, when we talk about experimental memoir and the thrilling, unexpected rebirth of the Künstlerroman , there will be a before and after Females ." --Jordy Rosenberg, author of Confessions of the Fox "Desire deserves a description. So does the gender self-loathing of the 'female' who is, it turns out, 'all of us.' With these theses, Andrea Long Chu inspires thrilled and dark passions because she has them and because she believes in smart and smarting arguments for them. The sentences are alive and veer toward surprise but also toward a tender wish for an easier conventional life for gender." --Lauren Berlant, author of The Female Complaint "Chu is a deft critic, adept at sliding across broad swaths of history and material, at conjuring the pithy poke or relatable read." --Eric Newman, Lit Hub "A lucid meditation on desire as the force shaping our identities, the paradoxes of liberation politics, and her own gender transition." --Johanna Fateman, Bookforum "[A] brief and blazing treatise." --Thora Siemsen, Nation "Beneath the veneer of Females ' provocation, those indefensible ideas, it is a surprisingly tender book that aims to tend to a universal ache: the frayed knot of selfhood, desire and power through which, Chu argues, we might try to see ourselves and each other more clearly." --Marissa Lorusso, NPR "Reading Andrea Long Chu feels a bit like being on the fault line of an earthquake--the ground is undeniably shifting." --Callie Hitchcock, New Republic "Astonishing." --Bryony White, Frieze, "Desire deserves a description.

In just ninety-four short pages, Chu manages to show off her quick wit and deep knowledge of everything from pop culture to social history to queer theory." --Amelia Possanza, The Rumpus, Featured in The New York Times .

Synopsis
An exploration of gender and desire from our most exciting new public intellectual "Everyone is female, and everyone hates it." So begins Andrea Long Chu's genre-defying investigation into sex and lies, desperate artists and reckless politics, the smothering embrace of gender and the punishing force of desire. Drawing inspiration from a forgotten play by Valerie Solanas--the woman who wrote the SCUM Manifesto and shot Andy Warhol--Chu aims her searing wit and surgical intuition at targets ranging from performance art to psychoanalysis, incels to porn, and even feminists like herself. Each step of the way she defends the indefensible claim that femaleness is less a biological state of women and more a fatal existential condition that afflicts the entire human race--men, women, and everyone else. Or maybe she's just projecting. A thrilling new voice who has been credited with launching the "second wave" of trans studies, Chu shows readers how to write for your life, baring herself with a morbid sense of humor and a mordant kind of hope., A groundbreaking exploration of gender and desire from the Pulitzer Prize-winning essayist and critic With a New Afterword by the Author ABA IndieBound Bestseller "Everyone is female, and everyone hates it." So begins Andrea Long Chu's genre-defying investigation into sex and lies, desperate artists and reckless politics, the smothering embrace of gender and the punishing force of desire. Drawing inspiration from a forgotten play by Valerie Solanas--who wrote the SCUM Manifesto and shot Andy Warhol--Chu aims her searing wit and surgical intuition at targets ranging from performance art to psychoanalysis, incels to porn, and even feminists like herself. Each step of the way she defends the indefensible claim that femaleness is less a biological state of women and more a fatal existential condition that afflicts the entire human race--men, women, and everyone else. In a new afterword, Chu reflects on the book's reception, the growing anti-trans movement in America, and the continuing need for a radical theory of desire.
