"Taking off from the notion that the dedicated few who raise pigs deserve the same respect and romantic status as cowboys and cattle-ranchers, this fast-moving piece of inspired lunacy, dedicated 'to joy and genius,' operates strictly on its own terms. A pig farmer on the run from the police, his sowboy (on the run from the Marines), a female commodities broker/inveterate hog lover and a computer whiz kid/lawyer looking for some meaning to life meet in Chicago and hatch a plan to set up a pigs-and-people haven on an Indonesian island. A distinctly strange but exhilarating ride." —Scotland On Sunday
