The narrator of this bizarre tale is ample, porcine, rosy and
curvy. She enjoys extraordinary success in bringing home the bacon
as a masseur in a 'beauty parlour'. Until, that is, she
metamorphoses into a pig. Rejected, foraging in sewers, her only
option is to take up with a depraved werewolf with insatiable
appetites (when they share pizza, she gets the pizza, he gets the
delivery boy). For those that dare, Darrieusseq offers an intense
satire on a society which condemns anyone gifted with
less-than-perfect looks. Not subtle, but it is memorable. (Kirkus
UK)
Pig Tales is a brilliant satirical novel about a stunning young
woman working in a beauty 'massage' parlour. She enjoys
extraordinary success at bringing home the bacon (in part due to
her increasingly rosy and irresistible backside) until she slowly
metamorphoses - into a pig. Rejected by her boyfriend, left to
wander the sewers and forage for food in public parks, she takes up
with a werewolf with insatiable appetites. They share everything
(pizza is a particular favourite; she gets the pizza, he gets the
delivery boy) until someone alerts the authorities and tragedy
strikes . . . Gender, politics and social hypocrisy all come under
scrutiny in this entertaining and enlightening novel. Pig Tales is
a Metamorphosis for the present day, a dark fable of political and
sexual corruption, and a grim warning of what can happen in a
society without a soul.
