( Beauty and the Beast begins with the question: Is beaut...)
Beauty and the Beast begins with the question: Is beauty destined to end in tragedy? Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Colombia, Michael Taussig scrutinizes the anxious, audacious, and sometimes destructive attempts people make to transform their bodies through cosmetic surgery and liposuction. He balances an examination of surgeries meant to enhance an individual’s beauty with an often overlooked counterpart, surgeries performed—often on high profile criminals—to disguise one’s identity. Situating this globally shared phenomenon within the economic, cultural, and political history of Colombia, Taussig links the country’s long civil war and its bodily mutilation and torture to the beauty industry at large, sketching Colombia as a country whose high aesthetic stakes make it a stage where some of the most important and problematic ideas about the body are played out. Central to Taussig’s examination is George Bataille’s notion of depense, or “wasting.” While depense is often used as a critique, Taussig also looks at the exuberance such squandering creates and its position as a driving economic force. Depense, he argues, is precisely what these procedures are all about, and the beast on the other side of beauty should not be dismissed as simple recompense. At once theoretical and colloquial, public and intimate, Beauty and the Beast is a true-to-place ethnography—written in Taussig’s trademark voice—that tells a thickly layered but always accessible story about the lengths to which people will go to be physically remade.

(Exiled from the mafia at a young age, Orazio "Ozzy" Lembo...)
Exiled from the mafia at a young age, Orazio "Ozzy" Lembo went on to commit crimes the media declared would make “Al Capone blush” and “Dillinger envious.” Until his criminal curtain of deceit suddenly crashed down… This is the fascinating true story of the invisible man the United States Treasury Department credited with masterminding the biggest heist of bank data in United States history. Just as his star was rising in the underground world, Ozzy Lembo, dubbed “the collection kid”, was unexpectedly ousted by his powerful New Jersey mob boss. Although devastated, he had no intentions of abandoning his criminal aspirations—even after tasting success as a legitimate debt collector. Instead Ozzy expertly combined his underworld street smarts with legitimate debt collection experience to covertly steal over a trillion dollars in financial information from over a million unsuspecting debtors. Narrated with the same caustic wit and bullshit that effectively disguised his illegal operations in the open light of day, Ozzy details how government authorities only scratched the surface of his legendary deceit. For over a decade The Dark Wizard of Oz made millions duping law enforcement and the world’s best security measures by blending a hilarious cocktail of fraud, drugs, sex, and payoffs like no ever had before. Or ever will again.
