There are also some more revelations about the dark threat of unknown abusers in the background, and together with the honest and real tone of the story, this makes for an exciting read.

Wilson's debut is more character-based than plot-based and, because of that, is quieter than a lot of books out there right now. This book was a refreshing read after all the fast-paced, quick adventures I'd been reading.

Maybe those are some of the reasons why The Pigman was one of the most frequently banned books of the 1990s ( source). Critics of the book point to the fact that the main characters are accomplished liars and that they cut school, drink, and smoke (John). Although they reject the adult world, ironically they become friends with an older man who introduces them to his love of fun and adventure. The two main characters in The Pigman, high-school students John Conlan and Lorraine Jensen, are profoundly alienated from the adult authority figures in their lives – their parents and teachers. ![]() ![]() A popular slogan was "Don't trust anyone over thirty." Some movies of this era, such as Harold and Maude (1971) and The Graduate (1967), like The Pigman, portray "the Establishment," the conservative adult world, as corrupt and ignorant. Young people began to question their parents' values and protested America's involvement in the war in Vietnam. This was the era of the Civil Rights Movement and the feminist movement. The decade of the 1960s was a time of great change and unrest in America. Paul Zindel's The Pigman, published in 1968, was one of the first young adult books to gain a wide readership. ![]() |
