Sinossi

In this dynamic new collection of essays, critically acclaimed author Roisin Kiberd dissects the business of attaining perfection – or even normality – through consumption and body modification.

Linking her personal experiences with Botox and eating disorders to broader phenomena, the author explores subcultures including the underground drag scene and competitive dog shows to better understand how differing groups define and judge excellence.

From Westport to Paris, Dublin to Berlin, Versailles to the Ringsend Recycling Centre, Kiberd takes us on a journey of obsession with an unanticipated answer to the question: am I normal yet?
