Pig Tales: A Novel of Lust and Transformation

Product Information

Outrage at the commodification of women is quite apparent throughout. For instance, the protagonist has little to complain about when she is gang raped and forced to have sex with dogs, but she's more profoundly hurt when someone refers to her as "not so hot."

This, when combined with the far-right revolution in the novel that oppresses the Islamic community, enables us to see that one of the fears in the novel is the oppression of such Islamic minorities. France had as recently as 1945 seen the effects of far right politics on the Jewish community (who incidentally also forbid the consumption of pig meat). Scientific discovery under Nazi Rule – The curious case of Walther Kossel and Gottfried Möllenstedt I need fiction to see the world better. It’s a bit like when you want to look at the stars: there are some you can’t see when you’re looking right up to the sky, because you have to see it from aside to grasp it better with your eyes. This slanted glance allows us to incorporate the whole world simultaneously. And that’s a good definition of what fiction is for me. Like a step aside that helps us to see things better."

Sarah Dunant (writing for the Observer) summarised one aspect of the choice of a pig to metamorphosize into: ‘If all men are pigs, then what can a woman do but turn into a sow?’ Marie Darrieussecq was writing in a time in which feminism was entering what is commonly described as its third wave. The feminism of the 1990s was much more bodily-representational than previous incarnations, focusing on the reproductive rights of women and to a certain extent the aestheticism of the female body among other issues. Es inevitable comparar el paralelismo entre esta novela y «La metamorfosis» de Kafka en la que el protagonista, una mañana se despierta convertido en una enorme cucaracha. Siendo este último una obra maestra de la literatura y sin querer quitarle mérito, pienso que Marie ha hecho un gran trabajo. In 1988, Marie Darrieussecq was awarded the Prix du jeune écrivain de langue française (the Young French Writer's Prize) for her short story La Randonneuse. [34]Clèves functions like a rewinding up of moments that have not been forgotten or occulted, just never consulted or celebrated.” [19] We all should be feminists or rather we all have to be feminists, as put by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, this phrase keeps reverberating in my mind throughout the book as if it’s some sort of gospel. Well, it would be another thing to observe that even our religions fail to be feminists, perhaps all of them, it may come as some sort of blasphemy to the careless and impatient readers. If we can put our biases aside and try to look at it at a deeper level, deeper than religion (of course some would argue what could it be deeper than religion), somewhere the basic level of humanity, at the level of morality and ethics; for morality encompasses what made us- our customs and habits, of course, over the years morality and religion have become intertwined, well that has been a problem of humanity in almost all aspects- we devise things and then we struggle to get free from them, we would be able to realize that the problem is deep-rooted in human civilization. A few of us would argue that what is the need for feminism as we have or are going to become progressive and there would be others, who would say feminism would create another sort of divide as it gives an unfair advantage to ‘the other sex’ I would say we need to broaden our intellectual horizon (of course we talking of empathy and emotional intelligence here) and see the problem from the perspective of entire humanity- for any civilization may grow and be progressive only when its all sections advance simultaneously, and hence feminism should be taken as a sort of affirmative action, at the basic philosophy of humanity. We need to be feminists so that those who have been deprived, suppressed, and unexpressed for years, maybe given some tools to improve their representation in various domains of society, and hence, it is about equity than equality, for equality presupposes an idealistic social condition. And therefore, feminist literature is a must for a society that takes everything for granted. Hell, this IS weird. Witty, dirty, baroque, and cleverly written. In short, everything I like in satire.

Llegué a este libro sin conocer absolutamente nada acerca de él, fue un regalo de mi madre, una auténtica lectora voraz. Me lo recomendó con tanto fervor que ardía en deseos de sumergirme entre sus páginas y lo cierto, es que lo que he encontrado entre ellas ha sido bestial. She either writes short monologues or novels in the third person that focus on the world as a whole, through a group of people from a fictive village called Clèves in south-west France, in the Basque country:

At the time of reading it, ten or so years ago, I actually got really scared and had a hard time sleeping for a couple of days. It's so bizarre but in a sense so realistic and true too human behaviour that it far exceeded the horror of most I'd seen/read up too that point (and still today). The naive narrator and how she, from her perspective, focuses and draw the readers attention to what she thinks is important and how she hides things from herself or society and possibly how society views her together with the span from somewhat comical events to almost unbearable dark ones, yet within a frame of what is possibly all too human (and in the same instance not, she is, after all a pig) really made this book an eye opener for me, or rather, a mind opener. Darrieussecq has been Patron of the Réseau DES France since 2001, an association that helps victims of Distelbène. [39] Alongside the feminist aspect, another political change was taking place in France in the 1990’s. France (due to its proximity to northern Africa) has continuously considered its approach, stance and response to Islam and Islamic culture. The Algerian war of independence (in which France was the colonial power) had brought this into sharp focus, specifically whether Islam was compatible with French culture. This came to a head in the 1990s when the Front National came very close to winning the presidential elections.
