Tail of a Pig.

Maybe someone can answer this question better than my interpretation from the book, 100 years of Solitude, written by Gabriel G. Marquez. What do's he really mean when he say's, Being Born with the Tail of a Pig?

Balistic baldwin Mario, you beat me to the punch, i was gonna say the same thing, i was thinking Alex Baldwin calling his daughter a little pig.
Speaking of Baldwin, have you seen the huge amount of damage control being done today on TV from his brothers and hollywood friends.

What he really really means is that the result of intensive inbreeding will result in a congenital malformation...thus the last of the Buendias will be born with the tail of a pig. I don't think there's any hidden meaning in it.

pig tails Yerr I'm pretty sure there was no metaphorical signifigance. Everybody was having sex with their sisters, their cousins, italians or whatever in that book. No surprise their gene pool could use a little chlorine.

Bald Babys In the town I was from in Calif. some hicks moved there. Turns out the Brother was married to the Sister. They had Bald Babies, with Buck Teeth. Needless to say they were giant outcast. I believe most the boys ended up in Prison.

In the book, sometimes it's hard to follow, who's screwing who. Just mt opinion!
