A magical and comedic take on modern love, the power of friendship,
and the allure of disguise.
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 serves as 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?
