«Estranhos Perfumes» is a dystopian novel by Marie Darrieussecq, published by Edições Asa in paperback (120 pages, in Portuguese).
A young beautician working in a near-future Paris watches as her body gradually transforms into that of a sow. Through this literal metamorphosis, the author builds a dark fable about hedonism, the cult of beauty and the contradictions of modern societies, with a satirical and surreal tone.
Originally published as «Truismes» (1996), the author's first novel and finalist for the Prix Goncourt.
Recommended for readers of social satire, magical realism and contemporary French fiction.
