The Pig Who Danced
- 30 páginas

Exploring themes of acceptance and inclusion, the narrative follows three little pigs who escape from the farm, only to face bullying from crows that claim they don't belong in the woods. Each pig reacts uniquely to the situation: Grisly responds with anger and fear, Mucky with sadness, while Macduff takes a more positive approach. This story highlights the importance of resilience and finding one's place in the world despite adversity.
Two families inhabit this immersive polyvocal work, an intergenerational saga announced with The Cruelty Men (2018) and continued here as punk rockers and Magdalene laundries spiral into a post-colonial Ireland still haunted by its tribal undertow.
