Beauty by Kerascoët, Hubert Boulard

5.0

Like 'Beautiful Darkness', this is a very clever reworking of the classic fairytale format. However, it's more than that—it's also a multigenerational, layered dynastic struggle, and a series of solid allegories on life. It works on its own even if you ignore its commentary on folklore; there's a trademark brand of bathos and morbid humor here that sets it apart from most reimaginings of the classics.
