I remember the blurb on the back cover said, "One of the most horrifying books of the decade -- or is it?" and compared the author to Borges. (In fact, I assume the author's name -- a foreign form of "George B.," containing the string -orges -- is a distortion of Jorge Luis Borges, one of whose books I had just bought the day before the dream). There was some sort of "infinite regress" conceit that was central to the plot. I believe there were a lot of ordinary hogs, and a lot of angry hogs that wanted to kill them, then a third tier of angrier hogs that wanted to kill the angry hogs, and so on ad infinitum. I'm not sure how the angry man fit into the scheme of things, but perhaps he was angry about having paid good money for a novel with such a ridiculous plot!
