"You know what I'd do if I was a bitch?" He looked at his finger, but there wasn't enough on it, so he dug out some more. "I'd get me a gun, go out on the street, and - bip! bip! bip! - I'd put a bullet in everything I even suspected had a pecker swingin' between its legs. Anything else a bitch is gonna do is crazy. Course, bitches is crazy. But the way you know it is just 'cause they don't do the one sane thing they could: Go out and start shootin'." Hogg gnawed on his thumbnail. He said around his knuckle:"Men hate bitches, man. All men hate all bitches."
Samuel R.Delany, Hogg. Boulder: Black Ice Books, 1994.
Over 40 years after its conception, I can't believe how profoundly vicious this book still is.
