À propos de cet audio
The lives of six female superheroes and the girlfriends of superheroes. A ferocious riff on women in superhero comics.
From the New York Times best-selling author Catherynne Valente comes a series of linked stories from the points of view of the wives and girlfriends of superheroes, female heroes, and anyone who's ever been "refrigerated": comic book women who are killed, raped, brainwashed, driven mad, disabled, or had their powers taken so that a male superhero's storyline will progress.
In an entirely new and original superhero universe, Valente subversively explores these ideas and themes in the superhero genre, treating them with the same love, gravity, and humor as her fairy tales. After all, superheroes are our new fairy tales and these six women have their own stories to share.

Don’t open the door
My love for comic books was scarred by the death of Gwen Stacy in 1973, so I understand where this is coming from. As “Redshirts” skewered the casual body count of dramatic stories, “The Refrigerator Monologues” scourges the ill-treatment of secondary characters to motivate protagonists.
While it may be fun to unravel the roman à clef, it’s not just about the comics. It’s about lazy writing. If they were real people, these characters would have much longer stories to tell. Some writers forget that.
This is black humour at its best.
