“Behind every great woman theres a kept man”. The book My Revolutions by Hari Kunzru shows the influence women have on mens lives. One of the main characters, Chris Carver who laters calls himself Michael Frame is entering his teens in the 60’s. Chris discovers politics and and learns about the processes of protest on vietnam in the american embassy. The story of chris going through his fugitive days uses sexuality and women as a liberation and highlights how important sexual freedom was at this time.
My revolutions is a mixture of both political and erotic confrontations and people oppressing them. The young people aspire a revolutionary transmutation of society and use sex and liberation to achieve it. This theory is still very present today. Sex as a manipulation and form of control was and will always be a weapon for a desired result. In My revolutions, more specifically to control a whole group of people for a cause.
