Pig Tales by Marie Darrieussecq

This novel is a satirical and dystopian narrative that follows the life of a woman who gradually transforms into a pig. Through her metamorphosis, the story delves into themes of identity, societal decay, and the objectification of women. Set against a backdrop of a corrupt and perverse society, the protagonist's journey from human to pig serves as a critical commentary on the dehumanizing aspects of contemporary life and the commodification of bodies. The narrative's dark humor and surreal elements underscore the absurdity of the protagonist's changing reality, offering a poignant critique of modern societal norms and the loss of personal agency within oppressive systems.
