Pig Tales is the story of a young woman who lands a position at Perfumes Plus, a beauty boutique/massage parlor. She enjoys great success until she slowly metamorphoses into . . . a pig. What happens to her then overturns all our ideas about relationships between man, woman, and beast in a stunning feminist fable of political and sexual corruption.
Marie Darrieussecq is the author of several novels, including Pig Tales and My Phantom Husband (The New Press). She was awarded the prestigious Prix Mdicis in 2013.
