That same year, Jean-Luc Godard bought the rights of the novel and then decided not to adapt it. In Le Figaro, Eric Ollivier wrote about Pig Tales in an article entitled "A tale that makes you puke: You feel an internal rage, a falsely naïve and merry tone that impulsively relates horrors out of this world Nonsense prevails, up till the epilogue. Disgusting and difficult to bear." In 2003, J.M.G. Le Clézio wrote in Le Point: "Marie Darrieussecq s work reminds one of Lautréamont: the dream of the swine." Pig Tales was a Prix Goncourt finalist. Marie Darrieussecq's first book. Seller Inventory # north42
