Follow on Google News | The Pigs Are Coming...are You Ready?Debut novel from Toronto author explores the fractured male psyche.
By: GENTLEMEN PIGS Or is he? Meet Paul. Nobody really knows who Paul is. He thinks he’s an SIS agent trailing an international drug trafficking ring. His girlfriend thinks he’s a laborer. His accomplices from the Second World War know he’s an SOE operative working in Italy. His friends think he’s a fry cook. Paul’s convinced he travels through time as a British spy, but his dementia likes to play tricks on him. Or is that simply that Paul has gone so deep undercover that he can’t come back? GENTLEMEN PIGS is the debut novel by Anthony Vincent Cristina. In this ambitious undertaking, Cristina explores what it is to be a man when you aren’t even sure which man you are supposed to be. By using a mix of prose, poetry, and graphics, Cristina manages to create a taut and suspenseful story out of three separate narratives. Joseph Macchiusi states that GENTLEMEN PIGS, “...is like nothing else I've experienced. Cristina holds up a funhouse mirror to our fractured, violent and deeply bizarre culture. He has created a disturbing new species…A psychotropic cocktail of Burroughs, Irvine Welsh, Frank Miller, and Gaspar Noé. Read it. Read it now. But inoculate yourself: these memes are bloody virulent." Inspired by the do it yourself ethos of punk, Cristina created his own publishing imprint, Awgyst Press to publish and distribute his novel. With the release of GENTLEMEN PIGS, Cristina hopes to distribute additional works by like minded authors though this imprint.
