Dudes a companion to Kathe Burkhart's previously published The Double Standard (2005, Participant Press). Divided into three sections—Mountain Men, Sensitive Artists, and Perverts—Dudes is an unsentimental journey through one gender non-conforming woman's sexual and cultural underground from West Virginia to New York City to Amsterdam. It's chick lit from hell—from dirty old men to dominant women, from meeting Diane Arbus as a child at a small town carnival and refusing to be photographed, to fluffing for art. Dudes contains illustrations and 15 autobiographical stories written by the artist.
