It's tasteless, showy, vulgar, and uncalled for.\" \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So begins this delicious thriller about a gay interior decorator who joins his super-wealthy clients for a Caribbean cruise, only to find himself shanghaied by pirates. Bound hand and foot and tossed unceremoniously into a quaint, Paul Gauguin sort of hut picturesquely thatched with banana leaves, Gregory fears he will be boiled à la langouste and served without so much as a creative sauce. But one night, as he lies in the dark with his face in the dirt, he hears a digging, snooting sound coming from the ground outside . . . Enter the most endearing sidekick in fiction, the brave pig Savarin. High adventure is turned on its head in this affectionate satire of yuppie values. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"It is as if Oscar Wilde had been parachuted into the jungle,\" says the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. \"You will find yourself picking out and stowing away your favorite lines. There are enough twists in the story to make a yogi sore. Under the spell of Gundy's droll and accomplished prose you will end up smiling through the whole thing.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Gundy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781497638143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Gundy is the author of such highly praised novels as \u003ci\u003eBliss\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Disappearance of Gregory Pluckrose\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLove, Infidelity and Drinking to Forget\u003c\/i\u003e.
