DESCRIPTION:In Ugliness (New Vessel Press\, 2025)\, Moshtari Hilal\, an Afg
 han-born author and artist who lives in Germany\, has written a touching\,
  intimate\, and highly political book. Dense body hair\, crooked teeth\, a
 nd big noses: Hilal uses a broad cultural lens to question norms of appear
 ance – ostensibly her own\, but in fact everyone's. She writes about bea
 uty salons in Kabul as a backdrop to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan\, Da
 rwin's theory of evolution\, Kim Kardashian\, and a utopian place in the s
 hadow of her nose. With a profound mix of essay\, poetry\, her own drawing
 s\, and cultural and social history of the body\, Hilal explores notions o
 f repulsion and attraction\, taking the reader into the most personal of r
 ealms to put self-image to the test.
