Why I Hate Women
''Why I Hate Women'' is the 13th studio album by Pere Ubu, released in 2006. Keith Moliné stepped in for departed longtime guitarist Tom Herman, making this the first Pere Ubu studio album not to feature any of the group's founders (except for David Thomas) either as members or as guests. Explaining the title, Thomas claimed that ''Why I Hate Women'' is a tribute to an imaginary book that Jim Thompson could have written.

David Thomas remixed the album in 2021, retitled it ''Why I Luv Women'' (with the word "Luv" covering the word "Hate" in the style of a red, off-kilter sticker) and first reissued this version as part of the box set ''Nuke The Whales 2006-2014'' in April 2022 through Fire Records.

Jim Thompson (writer)
James Myers Thompson (September 27, 1906 – April 7, 1977) was an American prose writer and screenwriter, known for his hardboiled crime fiction. Thompson wrote more than thirty novels, the majority of which were original paperback publications, published from the late-1940s through mid-1950s. Despite some positive critical notice—notably by Anthony Boucher in ''The New York Times''—he was little-recognized in his lifetime. Only after death did Thompson's literary stature grow. In the late 1980s, several of his novels were re-published in the '' Black Lizard'' series of re-discovered crime fiction. His best-regarded works include ''The Killer Inside Me'', ''Savage Night'', '' A Hell of a Woman'' and '' Pop. 1280.'' In these works, Thompson turned the derided crime genre into literature and art, featuring unreliable narrators, odd structure, and the quasi-surrealistic inner narratives of the last thoughts of his dying or dead characters. A number of Thompson's books were ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
