Pig Tales is a brilliant satirical novel about a stunning young woman
working in a beauty 'massage' parlour. She enjoys extraordinary success at
bringing home the bacon (in part due to her increasingly rosy and
irresistible backside) until she slowly metamorphoses - into a pig.
Rejected by her boyfriend, left to wander the sewers and forage for food in
public parks, she takes up with a werewolf with insatiable appetites. They
share everything (pizza is a particular favourite; she gets the pizza, he
gets the delivery boy) until someone alerts the authorities and tragedy
strikes . . . Gender, politics and social hypocrisy all come under scrutiny
in this entertaining and enlightening novel. Pig Tales is a Metamorphosis
for the present day, a dark fable of political and sexual corruption, and a
grim warning of what can happen in a society without a soul.
