Weaving critical commentary with personal experience, the author explores Botox, blondeness, exercise addiction, and subcultures including the underground drag scene and competitive dog shows to better understand how beauty is judged and defined. From Berlin nightclubs to rural Mayo, from Versailles to the Ringsend Recycling Centre, Kiberd takes us on a journey of obsession led by the question: am I normal yet?
