Description
A dark, dystopian novel from the author of City of Ghosts . Four children live on an island that serves as the repository for all the world's garbage. Trash arrives, the children sort it, and then they feed it to a herd of insatiable pigs: a perfect system. But when a barrel washes ashore with a boy inside, the children must decide whether he is more of the world's detritus, meant to be fed to the pigs, or whether he is one of them. Written in exquisitely wrought prose, Pigs asks questions about community, environmental responsibility, and the possibility of innocence. Featured on TODAY with Hoda and Jenna , as recommended by Read With Jenna book club author Megha Majumdar "A lyrical, enthralling, and dark-inflected allegory, equal parts Italo Calvino, Angela Carter, and Lord of the Flies ." -- Jonathan Lethem, award-winning author of The Arrest "Powerful, metaphorical, as fantastical as it is true . . a masterpiece. Stoberock scrutinizes mankind's failure to tend to our planet, our children, and our fellow man, and the result is a terrifying, tremendous book, its darkness lit in unpredictable ways by campfires of compassion and hope. What a wise, searing novel for the twenty-first century." -- Sharma Shields, author of The Cassandra " Pigs looks unflinchingly at some of the scariest parts of our world -- a changing climate, an ocean full of garbage, and us, the fragile animals. Yet within this, there is tremendous beauty and grace -- Johanna Stoberock has written a kind of love song to survival, to life itself." -- Ramona Ausubel, author of Awayland.
