    • 2006, Virginie Despentes, “King Kong Girl”, in King Kong Théorie [King Kong Theory], Éditions Grasset, →ISBN, page 127; republished as Stéphanie Benson, transl., King Kong Theory, 2009:
      La chaudasserie la plus pathétique, les hommes veulent nous la refourguer comme sympathique et pulsionnelle. Mais c'est rare d'être Bukowski, la plupart du temps, c'est juste des tocards lambda.
      They try to pass off the most pathetic dick-simpering as generous and impulsive. But few men are Bukowski; for the most part they are just your average fuckwit.
