A fascinating hybrid of noir action, cheap science fiction, and hard sex in a dream land called Los Angeles. Boris Vian had never been to Los Angeles, but that didn't stop him from writing the most bizarre sexual sci-fi novel ever set there. To Hell With the Ugly is one of the first novels to take on the issue of cloning, for the sole purpose of beauty- the elimination of all ugly people, to be replaced by beautiful clones. A new English translation of the 1948 French masterpiece!
Alcohol, sex and embryo modification among the young people of Los Angeles, and how some will pursue the criminals dangerously to raise the veil on the case. #borisvian#frenchliterature#frenchauthors
