from the novella by Marie Darrieussecq

Synopsis:
Bella, A young woman living in Paris, is delighted when she lands a new job as a massage therapist at the upmarket beauty salon Perfumes Plus. She is surprisingly unperturbed when she discovers that the "Plus", which she is expected to provide, is what telephone box advertisements describe as "tension relief". But she soon finds that she is undergoing strange changes: a hairy back, a penchant for acorns, an excessive BO problem. Bella gradually shifts from gamine to gammon as she is transmogrified into a pig. Dismissed from her job, she takes to the streets and finds herself drawn into a flurryof strange adventures that revolve around her porcine condition. There is an encounter with Edgar a Jorg Haider-like politician who thinks that the homeless are 'pigs" and uses her in his election campaign to illustrate his point. There is an affair with a werewolf who thrives on home-delivered pizza by eating the delivery boys. And in the end, there is self-realisation as Bella moves to the country and gives full vent to her animal instincts.
