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.
