Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Eine Frau erzählt ihre Geschichte. Das ist man gewohnt. Ein Schwein erzählt seine Geschichte. Das ist selten. Eine Frau, die zum Schwein wurde, erzählt ihre Geschichte. Das ist unerhört. Dabei fängt alles ganz harmlos an: Weil sie arbeitslos ist, verdingt sie sich in einer Parfümerie mit Massagesalon. Doch der Service an der überwiegend männlichen Kundschaft umfaßt mehr, als die Werbefotos zeigen. Diese ungewohnten Dienstleistungen verändern sie auch körperlich. Sie wird dick und rosig, entwickelt Appetit auf Gras und Eicheln, bekommt einen Rüssel, sechs Brüste und einen Ringelschwanz. Die Kunden sind zufrieden, vor allem nachdem sie selbst Geschmack an ihrer Tätigkeit findet. Gesellschaftlich aber geht es bergab. 144 pp. Deutsch. Seller Inventory # 9780571193721
