The White Pig: A True History in Eight Books follows, though not in
perfect order, the terrible curse that haunts four generations of
the Depew family of Valhalla, KY, a large city on the Ohio River
across from the border between Ohio and Indiana. Corey Depew, scion
and the ultimate victim, comes of age in 1957 (exactly 100 years
after the curse was uttered). It was the era of the Everly Brothers
and existentialism. Along the way he loses much (face, virginity,
and religion), and gains a little (love, for instance). Meanwhile,
in the background, a great white pig, symbol of evil, drifts
through the forests above the city, finally arriving at the
climactic moment when an earthquake destroys the ancient Indian
serpent mound, and the house built upon it.
