WILD BOAR

Translated from Swedish by
ANDY TURNER
Published by

To witness. To contain. To hunt.
People in Småland are being provoked into action by a destructive species. It moves in packs at night. Gardens are being destroyed, farmland churned up.
Yet its illusiveness draws in both visitors and inhabitants. The forests of this stony province are home to a growing population of wild boar once on the verge of extinction. Told by three people newly arrived in an isolated community,
WILD BOAR
is a compelling and poetic debut from Finnish/Swedish author
HANNAH LUTZ
about animals and people, their places in a changing ecosystem, and their capacities to grow and to destroy.
