"And We'll Destroy All the Ugly Ones" tells the story of Rocky Bailey, a brash 19-year-old who spends time in Los Angeles jazz nightclubs, and his clash with the obsessive Dr. Marcus Schutz, who founded a colony where ugliness is a genetic crime.
Fights, car chases, kidnappings, and murders follow one after the other in the novel in a domino pattern. Boris Vian's lyrical and surreal stories give way to a parodic foreboding of plastic surgery and comic book-style ruminations on Nazi Germany's vision of the ruling race. This is a narrative cocktail of such ingredients as Raymond Chandler, G. J. Wells, the novel "What a Wonderful New World!" and the film Barbarella.
"And we will destroy all the ugly" is an erotic crime novel with tendencies toward science fiction.
