“A Maverick Pig” is an essay by Chinese cult writer Wang Xiaobo (1952-1997) that was first published in 1996 in 三联生活周 刊 [Life Weekly] magazine. It describes the adventures of a pig-the pet of educated young men-which is different from the others: an agile, vivacious, and intelligent creature that manages to get away with things. For the local people, the pig is a scourge.

Keywords : Wang Xiaobo; Cultural Revolution; essay; Chinese literature; contemporary literature.
