This hilarious dark comedy about university life features Earl Butz, a white hog being fed in secret to find out just how big he can get, and several other characters focused on all manner of appetites. Academia is always ripe for satire, but the tension between teaching and research at a large agricultural institution adds a whole new layer for Smiley to exploit.
