Mystic Pig by Richard Katrovas
Forget Bourbon. This is the real New Orleans.
This is sex and sexuality and race and madness and violence and fine dining.
Not necessarily in that order.
In New Orleans’ French Quarter, Nat juggles his restaurant, his family, his past and a secret that threatens all of it.
Whip-smart Willie, skidding through adolescence with a little luck and a lot of skill, discovers another secret in an old poet’s epic poem, The Mystic Pig. One with a shadow over his whole future.
Two people thrown together in a murky and dubious world of half-truths, colourful characters and secret lives.
Can honesty and true friendship result in redemption for one and freedom for the other? Or will the sacrifices entailed ruin everything beyond repair?
Humor and compassion abound in this fascinating exploration of life and love in modern America.
Get ready to be sucked into NOLA’s heady, unique mix of life, love, music and food!
"Mystic Pig, is as wild, dangerous and spicy as the city it celebrates." – Valerie Martin
"From page one, this is a novel you want to take your time with." – Frederick Barthelme
