“Pussy Sludge” sketches a dystopian setting with an eponymous main character who lives in the swamps of a national park and menstruates crude oil. In a number of absurd encounters, Pussy Sludge resists stereotypical gender constructions and socially predetermined life models. This text is more than just a feisty criticism of patriarchal systems. The description of a protagonist who, masturbating wildly, turns power structures upside down is an incredibly funny analysis of this year’s Stückemarkt-motto.
