“People in this neighbourhood know how to live with pigs,” he says proudly, and it’s hard to tell if he’s proud of the people or of Sophie, not even a year old. He has momentarily forgotten the traffic pig. “There are very few animals that react so well to new situations – that can adapt. A lot of people use ‘pig’ as an insult. I’ve learned it’s an honour to be called a pig.”

Koentges is the author of Towards An Erratic State: A Collaboration of Antiquity and Insanity (Fox Run Press).
