About this listen

Four children live on an island that serves as the repository for all the world’s 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 world’s detritus, meant to be fed to the pigs, or whether he is one of them.

Written in exquisite prose, Pigs asks questions about community, environmental responsibility, and the possibility of innocence.

This allegorical tale has a message to convey but does it badly. None of the characters make you care about them. It is just nihilistic sociopaths living under the shadow of hedonistic psychopaths.
The environmental warning is occasionally hammered home but often obscured and lost.
Overal, it is a very dull story. Surreal but easily forgotten.
