Pig Tales: A Novel of Lust and Transformation

Product Information

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. Darrieussecq, whose mother and two grandmothers spoke Basque, [25] regularly claims in interviews [26] that she doesn't sacralise French, and considers it as a language among others: "I believe writers have a special relationship with their mother tongue. They dare to touch it, consider it as something outside of themselves, and they can either break or play with this body of language." [27] Her characters often move from one continent to another and are almost all confronted with foreign languages. In Tom Is Dead, the child's death was announced in English, since the French narrator was living in Australia:

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. In fact the author is not too fond of subtlety, since the protagonist of her 1996 novel is a not-so-brilliant Parisian girl working in a perfumery/massage parlour/brothel as a shop assistant (whose functions range from selling cosmetics to prostitution, mostly at the same time) who ends up turning into a sow. 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.

She works on clichés and structures her novels around commonplaces. The journalist Raphaëlle Leyris wrote in 2011: Marie Darrieussecq parle des éditions P.O.L, Presses universitaires de Paris Ouest ( ISBN 9782840160014) After Virginia Woolf, Nathalie Sarraute and Marguerite Duras, Darrieussecq "accounts for the entire world," [21] considering the fact that half of the world, women, does still not really have the right to speak.

I called this fictive, autobiographical village Clèves as a tribute to the Princesse de Clèves. I had had enough of inventing characters. Now I draw them from the reservoir of Clèves, and watch them grow older, from the 80s till much later.

I recently wanted to write about the migrants, like everybody else… But in my own way, far from clichés and pre-digested sentences.” [5]I leave open the question of feminine writing, which is also the question of my life."

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. The book might be disturbing to some but it's been written to portray human existence, bare, stripped off any sort of fake consolations since humanity fundamentally is deranged as we may see from the history of our civilization. Those who would be able to brave through the book would be rewarded heftily. It's a heart-wrenching rendition of challenges one faces in a domineering world in which one tries to make way through courage, pain, isolation, alienation, anxiety, and existential angst with one's limitations, to define oneself or in other words to find one's identity. Though it raises quite a few important feministic issues but, as we say initially, it is much more than just that, it encompasses entire life, perhaps touches upon most of the things which define humanity- sex, lust, power, beliefs, morality, ethics, prejudice, exploitation, freedom, expression, love, despair, happiness, sadness and most important of all human emotions- perseverance. The tale could be interpreted in many ways as the author leaves it loose and undetermined in the conscious space of her authors, though it launches staunch critique against patriarchy, prejudice, exploitation of women, the ostensible risk associated with the power which may come through cultural and social biases but it's essentially an account of narrator's struggle in pursuit of finding herself. Truismes performs a clever and sharp social exploration through topics such as beauty and gender norms, sexuality, misogyny, consent, identity, patriarchy, environment, corruption, alienation, classism, disability and, of course, Otherness. Apathy is also brutally skewered. E.g., when hearing authorities laugh about a plan to convert prisoners into pigs to butcher them and sell them as meat, the protagonist's only reaction is "personally, I've never understood anything about politics."
