"A sure comic touch . . . smart and sweet . . . a tribute to the pleasures of friendship." —The New Yorker
In
the heart of New York City, a group of artistic friends struggles with
society's standards of beauty. At the center are Barb and Lily, two
women at opposite ends of the beauty spectrum, but with the same
problem: each fears she will never find a love that can overcome her
looks. Barb, a stunningly beautiful costume designer, makes herself ugly
in hopes of finding true love. Meanwhile, her friend Lily, a
brilliantly talented but plain-looking musician, goes to fantastic
lengths to attract the man who has rejected her—with results that are as
touching as they are transformative.
To complicate matters, Barb and Lily discover that they may have a murderer in their midst, that
Barb’s calm disposition is more dangerously provocative than her beauty
ever was, and that Lily's musical talents are more powerful than anyone
could have imagined.
Part literary whodunit, part surrealist farce, The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty
is a smart, modern-day fairy tale. With biting wit and offbeat charm,
Amanda Filipacchi illuminates the labyrinthine relationship between
beauty, desire, and identity, asking at every turn: what does it truly
mean to allow oneself to be seen?
