After a lifetime of observing the absurdities and quiet tragedies of the human condition, he brings his keen eye and dry wit to the page in his debut novel, The Pigs Ate My Little Brother.

This is his first published work.","brand":"William Lynch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51580149170450,"sku":"9798349372971","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8220aab2-2b23-4e49-8bcf-3157e9aaa80b.jpg?v=1756207793","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-pigs-ate-my-little-brother-9798349372971","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
