Plastic

Mona vil være helt perfekt. Som en Barbiedukke. Som hende Lulu på gratis-postkortene på caféerne. Som pigerne i tv-reklamer. Mona sparer sammen, så plastikkirurger, tandlæger og andre eksperter kan gøre deres. Dernæst vil hun finde den perfekte kæreste og få det perfekte liv. Og hun skyer intet middel, heller ikke da hun i sidste øjeblik møder en forhindring, som kun vil gå væk, hvis man rydder den af vejen.Mette Thomsen (f. 1970) debuterede som forfatter i 1994 med `Af en superhelts bekendelser‘ og fulgte året efter op med den senmodernistiske roman `Plastic‘. Senest har hun skrevet `Seks‘ der udkom i 2009.
