description: Karl Schwenke, a transplanted urbanite, tells stories, sometimes uproariously funny, sometimes sad, about his encounters with pigs, neighbors and newcomers in a small country town. The author has a sharp ear for dialogue, for the human qualities of pigs and the piglike qualities of humans. Schwenke's finely honed writing makes the pleasures and heartaches of rural life particularly vivid.
