The full title is “The Beautiful Pig Farmer, or the genuine, hard-hitting memoirs of economic adviser Minna Karlsson-Kananen, written by her.”

The satirical novel “The Beautiful Pig Farmer” was published almost fifty years ago. The American Dream has captured the imagination of generations of disadvantaged people around the world. Rumors of a fabulously bountiful country where a bootblack can quickly and easily become a millionaire are tempting. Larney, with inimitable humor, subtly ridiculing the naive and simple-minded admiration for everything American, showing America from the inside, in touch with this very American dream, dispels illusions.

Many things have changed in today's world. However, the author’s sparkling humor, caustic accuracy of assessments, and fearless satire are no less interesting and useful to the reader today. Judge for yourself.
