About Killing Pigs and other Stories
Wide-ranging is the most obvious characteristic of this collection. The settings extend from Alaska to West Africa, the Vendee Region of France to the Appalachian Mountains of the US, the English Channel to the Chesapeake Bay.
The forms include short stories, a play, poetry, travelogues, photographs, and a recipe. Written between 1961 and 2023, "Killing Pigs and other Stories" embraces topics including Thanksgiving dinner, sailing the Bay, living in a nudist campground, and of course, killing pigs. And just to garnish the eclectic theme, there is dialogue and poetry in both English and French.
