«Marranadas» is the dystopian novel by Marie Darrieussecq, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (146 pages, in Spanish).
In a dystopian Paris, a young beautician begins to transform into a pig. Her new condition makes her popular among her massage clients, but complicates her love life and drags her toward the instinctual. The novel combines black humour and satire to address identity, alienation and happiness in a world of appearances.
The novel was originally published under the title «Truismes»; this edition appeared in 1997.
For readers of contemporary fiction, dystopias and magical realism, especially those who value a feminist perspective.
Marie Darrieussecq is a French writer. She is also a translator, and has practised as a psychoanalyst.
