Synopsis: Truismes by Marie Darrieussecq follows an unnamed woman who begins to physically transform into a pig. As her appearance changes, she faces growing alienation and exploitation by society. The novel explores themes of body image, societal expectations, and the objectification of women, using surrealism to critique how society reduces individuals, especially women, to their physical appearance. It's a dark, satirical take on identity and the pressures of conforming to beauty standards.
