In The Estheticon, Laurent La Gamba mingles absurdity and seriousness in a series of stories about plastic surgery and criticises contemporary society in its many guises: an analyst who dreams about having his nose done, an Irishman dressed up as a teletubby on a mission to murder the surgeon who messed up his mother's rhinoplasty, a Chinese mafia boss scared at the sight of a Miss France's protruding vulva, or yet a divorced man on holiday in Las Vegas shooting tourists with siliconed breasts... A collection of surrealist stories whose central theme is plastic surgery...Apparently nothing serious, but only apparently. www.laurentlagambabooks.com
