The Hog's Wholey Wash - A Complete Allegorical Manual on Consciousness and Cosmos, with Vindication Sublime of That Most Maligned Terrestrial Species (Paperback)


"Realise, then," said the hog, "your unfathomableness with everything - your organic unfathomableness." With that, the sty fell silent. So begins this capering odyssey for hog and human, weaving a way through different dimensions on a mysterious quest. Leading to cell-like empyreans, the enigmatic I'-lak, Consumer Megamagnet, and otherworldly others, the journey could at first seem a wanton jungle of metaphor. Yet as the tale unfolds, readers may be led to 'unfoldings' of their own - to find themselves on a uniquely personal ride at the crux of the universal. This cosmic Gulliver's Travels or impish Book of the Dead is funny and unpredictable, with a challenging narrative that supports integral learning. Subtly potent, riddled with reflections of the psychological, quantal and ecological, the book variously explores the dynamics of the 'wirings' under the worldly boards. To the rooter for truth, through whatever domains one might be navigating, the hog may prove itself an invaluable companion. Ultimately it is up to the reader. Whatever way you take The Hog's Wholey Wash - spoof or multi-level cryptograph; annoyance, bracer or salve - there are always other ways it can be taken. It's time to find your inner 'trotter' and take a journey through the known and unknown...
