Attentat (2001)
Amélie Nothomb
drama - ISBN 2253146889 
Nothomb is gold for me
This story has a really ugly guy as a protagonist and he's lived a really dull life up to the day he meets his muse, the beautiful Ether. From then on he gets the courage to live his life more fully and engineers a big shock to the world by selling himself as a model at a fashion agency... they actually buy his crazy argument that his ugliness would actually bring the beauty of the generic models, and also his unsightly appearance might stick in people's memory... that's just sick More than all these oddities, Attentat is a love story that assaults your visual senses, a sad story within a tragic one and the ending. It almost makes sense Buy from Amazon Wikipedia Google Books Related in drama - 2007 Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey - 2006 Special Topics In Calamity Physics - 2003 Namesake - 2004 Eleanor Rigby - 2005 Kite Runner |
