Daniel Evan Weiss took on the fierce conflict between humans and insects in his last book, The Roaches Have No King. Here he turns to the struggle between Jews and Christians joining together in holy matrimony. When Allison Pennybaker and Solomon Beneviste announce their engagement, the trouble begins: the Pennybakers plan a church wedding they can't afford, while Solomon's mother traces the bizarre Beneviste genealogy all the way back to the Spanish Inquisition as a nuptial present to the couple. This comic tragedy chronicles the ill-fated engagement as it slides into the chasm between the faiths, then crashes and burns.

"Brilliantly plotted, blackly funny horror story" Cosmopolitan "Weiss' powerful message seems to be that obsession with the injustices of the past is no less dangerous than ignoring them, a valuable lesson in this age of identity-group politics and universal victimhood...The Swine's Wedding is a funny, dark and ultimately searing book that is both a pleasure to read and too painful to forget" Newsday "Weiss does a fine job on the women, whose wit and originality convince and endear. His consistently light touch contrasts starkly with the scenes of horrifying torture used to illustrate past oppressions, yet perfectly conveys his point: that bitterly harking back to the ills of the past can be as damaging as forgetting them. Neat" Time Out
