About the Book

""Animal Farm" meets "The Metamorphosis". . . . A very funny, intelligent book that can be read both for its politics and for its extraordinary depiction of a woman who revels in her bestial transformation.--"Booklist".

Book Synopsis

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.
