A Failed Annihilation

Provocative, lucid, and deeply revealing, A Failed Annihilation is the new book by Carlota Gurt, an author who challenges established narratives about female desire.

With incisive prose and a gaze filled with curiosity and empathy, Gurt invites us to question the myth of the “lower female libido,” an idea that has been rooted for centuries in Western culture and thought. Through a careful exploration of historical texts, the author recovers forgotten voices and revisits the discourses that have shaped (and often distorted) our understanding of women’s sexuality. The result is an essay that blends research, reflection, and literature, offering a new perspective on freedom, the body, and pleasure.

Based in part on a theatrical monologue previously created by Gurt, A Failed Annihilation expands that universe to become a powerful and necessary work about the true history of female desire.

A provocative essay that dismantles myths about female desire and rewrites its history with clarity and literary power.
