Et On Tuera Tous Les Affreux by Boris Vian

A darkly comic, surreal novella that follows an increasingly disoriented narrator as he becomes involved in a violent, absurd campaign to eradicate those deemed 'ugly.' Through grotesque episodes, black humor and poetic asides the story skewers social hypocrisy, the cult of appearance and the ease with which moral language can justify cruelty, leaving the reader with a biting satire of conformity and obsession.
