Let me make clear from the outset, I detest adventure. It''s tasteless, showy, vulgar, and uncalled for.So begins this delicious thriller about a gay interior decorator who joins his super-wealthy clients for a Caribbean cruise, only to find himself shanghaied by pirates.Bound hand and foot and tossed unceremoniously into a quaint, Paul Gauguin sort of hut picturesquely thatched with banana leaves, Gregory fears he will be boiled à la langouste and served without so much as a creative sauce.But one night as he lies in the dark with his face in the dirt, he hears a digging, snooting sound coming from the ground outside.Enter - the most endearing sidekick in fiction, the brave pig Savarin.High adventure is turned on its head in this affectionate satire of yuppie values.It is as if Oscar Wilde had been parachuted into the jungle, says the New York Times. You will find yourself picking out and stowing away your favorite lines. There are enough twists in the story to make a yogi sore. Under the spell of Gundy''s droll and accomplished prose you will end up smiling through the whole thing. Elizabeth Gundy, Books, Fiction and Literature, The Disappearance Of Gregory Pluckrose Books>Fiction and Literature "Let me make clear from the outset, I detest adventure," decries flamboyant and sassy interior decorator Gregory Pluckrose. "It's tasteless, showy, vulgar, and uncalled for."But, when a decadent Caribbean cruise results in being kidnapped by a band of pirates, adventure is exactly what Gregory Pluckrose gets. Trapped on a tropical isle without any sort of modern convenience or civility, Pluckrose must contend not only with the brutish pirates but also with his fellow shanghaied clients, the wealthy and loathsome Hale family.Just when all hope seems lost, enter the savior of the day--a piggish beast with a refined soul. Brillat-Savarin, named by Pluckrose after the famous gourmet, can snuffle up not only truffles and treasure but also maybe a way out of this dire situation.Armed only with impeccable taste and his trusted ally Savarin, Gregory Pluckrose turns high adventure on its head in this comic thriller by author Elizabeth Gundy.<
