AWESOME article. Thanks so much, Ashley. I’ve always been confused by Pink’s vague, sketchy, kaleidoscopic self-presentation. Your analysis clears up a lot of what I have always found so disorienting about her.
I thought it was Christian Bale!
The French are so good at these transgressive approaches to sex lit. Brings to mind Catherine Millet’s The Sexual Life of Catherine M., which blew my mind (and left me writhing in a swamp of desire) in 2001.
