Femenist reading of IV

[Robin Landseadel]

Have to say i more or less agree with "He Who Would Be Alice."

"Inherent Vice" is just overloaded with feminist markers—Ida Lupino  
and the "Pussy Eater's Special" among others—little subplots that  
actively address feminist themes. Of course there is a fair bit of  
Russ Meyer in the mix in Vineland and to a lesser but similar extent,  
in IV. It's a little hard to get these two particular conceptual  
frameworks to jibe together in a single mind, but there you are.

Not that I'm an Anti-Semenist, mind you.

Next up: Feminist readings of R. Crumb . . .
