Give the Pig a Chance & Other Stories

Emerging writer David Rice maintains a skillful balance of humor and sensitivity in Give the Pig a Chance. The title story, in which two estranged cousins are reunited after the accidental death of a beloved pot-bellied pig, and "Tina La Tinaca" in which a grieving woman grows so obese that on her death an emergency crew must widen the doorway of her home in order to remove her body, display Rice's knack for combining the ridiculous with pathos. Most of the stories are set in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.Rice, David L. is the author of 'Give the Pig a Chance & Other Stories' with ISBN 9780927534543 and ISBN 0927534541.
