A Fighting Pig's Too Tough to Eat (Series B / Norvik Press)

Suzanne Brogger lives in self-imposed exile in a remote, rundown village called Knudstrup, the locale of her `novel'.... With a kind of Yeatsian radical innocence, Brogger asserts stronger than insight. For the sake of this life she is willing to endure the status of celebrity outsider""-Rain Taxi. This anthology is a selection of Brogger's personal essays from 1976 to 1995 that deal with topics ranging from witches to cosmic temptations. The three early pieces will give readers a glimpse of the author as a wit and a social rebel, while the remaining eleven essays from 1986 to 1995 show her as both an iconoclast and a visionary. Sandwiched between the essays is the autobiographical text A Fighting Pig's Too Tough to Eat which might well prove to be her stylistic masterpiece.
