The art is interesting, but there is virtually no content in the script outside of it being an outlet for their misguided misandry. I thought perhaps the interviews with the author and artist at the end might be illuminating, but it was just empty, pseudo-intellectual jargon from a pair of morons.

W the Whore is a boldly feminist work born of an East/West German collaboration. This enigmatic piece is a narrative of the female body and explores patriarchy and power, freedom and autonomy, choice and discovery. The character of W the Whore is not a singular entity, and she is portrayed through stunning, otherworldly charcoal drawings with style that evolves between vignettes. Sparse, poetic fables are left for the reader to interpret, and their interpretation can be whatever speaks to them at that moment. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more unique volume.

Great art, but I think something may have been lost in translation with the text.
