Poor Things by Alasdair Gray

Structure is everything in this amazingly gonzo and wickedly entertaining collection of found "historical" documents that includes the Frankenstein tale of Bella Baxter, a dead woman brought back to life implanted with the brain from her fetus, as well as Bella's own shocking rebuttal, raising the question of why so people prefer to believe a man's outrageous lies over a woman's truth.

Ironically, the visually spectacular + intellectually vapid movie adaptation, by only including part of the novel, butchers the story + basically proves Gray's point, that too many men would rather reduce women to mindless sex objects than acknowledge them as actual people.

(I love how Gray's novels + short stories use typography + illustrations; def. work to read in print.)
