{"product_id":"hog-9781966302544","title":"Hog","description":"\u003cb\u003eA singularly riotous and wise debut novel that follows an exceptional 240-pound feral hog as he embarks on a self-styled “Grand Tour” of contemporary Boston.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRochester has always been a very special pig. Until recently he was an uncommonly intelligent classroom pet, but after a series of misadventures, he has resolved to follow in a long tradition of gentleman-scholars and strike out on an ambitious Grand Tour. His expedition promises artistic transcendence, exquisite self-knowledge, and the invaluable company of like-minded individuals—if only he can make himself understood to others.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUndeterred by the sometimes delighted, sometimes hostile reactions of the humans he encounters, Rochester narrates his adventures across Boston with the unparalleled linguistic bravado of a libertine-aesthete, even as his plans begin to crumble under the pressure of his extravagant expectations. From a college keg party to an impromptu lecture at the Museum of Fine Arts to a protest on Boston Common, he grapples with the strangeness of contemporary customs and holds up a mirror to our fractured times with spirited insights. Yet despite the escalating attempts of a zealous Boston Animal Control employee to entrap him, Rochester’s most human emotions—guilt, loneliness, self-deception—may prove to be his greatest perils of all.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTom Froh’s uproarious and profound debut introduces an unforgettable narrator and announces the arrival of a sparkling new talent in fiction.","brand":"Tom Froh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49089862303995,"sku":"9781966302544","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/hog-9781966302544","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
