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 worldโs 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 worldโs detritus, meant to be fed to the pigs, or whether he is one of them. Written in exquisitely wrought prose,ย Pigsย asks questions about community, environmental responsibility, and the possibility of innocence.
Featured onย TODAY with Hoda and Jenna, as recommended byย Read With Jennaย book club author Megha Majumdar
โA lyrical, enthralling, and dark-inflected allegory, equal parts Italo Calvino, Angela Carter, and Lord of the Flies.โ โJonathan Lethem, award-winning author of The Arrest
โPowerful, metaphorical, as fantastical as it is true . . . a masterpiece. Stoberock scrutinizes mankindโs 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.โ โSharma Shields, author ofย The Cassandraย
โPigsย looks unflinchingly at some of the scariest parts of our worldโa changing climate, an ocean full of garbage, and us, the fragile animals. Yet within this, there is tremendous beauty and graceโJohanna Stoberock has written a kind of love song to survival, to life itself.โโRamona Ausubel, author ofย Awayland
