Pig Tales is a provocative novel. It is a troubling and compelling read. It demands a second reading to clarify my thoughts. I also want to learn more about the author, Marie Darrieussecq, and read Animal Studies articles about the book. Is this the plot? A woman turns into a sow living in a dystopian Paris.
