Eduardo \"Vince\" Negron has a regular table at a bar-restaurant in Pigsville called El Perro Negro, from where he runs El Manojo, a motley assortment of hoodlums. Negron is minor league, but across town former gangster gone legit Lloyd Frend is thinking big: perhaps he will run for office one day; he will certainly make a heap more dough. Men will be caught in the crossfire between Negron and Frend as they battle for territory, not least Walt Hargrove, an appliance store salesman drawn to El Manojo by curiosity and the desire to make an extra buck or two. Told with a tongue in various cheeks, Pigsville is a gripping tale full of sex, drugs, and violence and not a little black humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Fishman's short stories have been published in the following literary magazines: Carolina Quarterly, the Black Warrior Review, Canvass, the Mississippi Review, the Chicago Review, Insomnia, Frank (Paris), Purple Fiction (Paris), The Literary Review; his novels, The Magic Dogs of San Vicente, No. 22 Pleasure City, and Thirteen Heavens, are published by Guernica Editions.
