Synopsis:
Best-selling writer Jimmy Buffett weaves an irresistible new tale—filled with colorful characters, wry humor, and the pursuit of a very clever pig. When Southern belle Ellie
McBride moves her twins from Vertigo, Tennessee to New York City, they wouldn’t dream of leaving behind the family pig Rumpy. But the posh hotel where Ellie has found work (and
living space) has “No Pets” writ large on its portal. So hiding Rumpy from the hotel staff—especially the ultra-carnivorous hotel chef, who would like nothing better than to
transform their pet into pork roast—becomes imperative.

Jimmy’s comments on “Swine” –
Earlier this month, Buffett published his seventh book, “Swine Not? A Novel Pig Tale,” a young readers story about a single-parent family in New York that lives in the hotel where the mother works and has a pet pig they disguise as a dog.
Buffett credits illustrator Helen Bransford with the idea for what he considers a very different and challenging kind of narrative.
“It doesn’t have any sea planes or pirates or anything,” Buffett notes, “but I loved the characters. It was a challenge in trying to write something different. It reminded me of when I had to write on assignment for Herman Wouk for ‘Don’t Stop the Carnival,’ and I kinda liked that.”
