Synopsis

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 Beneviste genealogy all the way back to the Spanish Inquisition. Both sides take determined, unwitting steps to promote a disaster. In a darkly comic mode, Daniel Evan Weiss once again says profound truths about the human condition.

Media Reviews
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
