具體描述
With bravura storytelling, daring imagination, and fierce narrative control, this dazzling debut introduces that rare writer who finds humanity in our most unconventional behavior, and the humor beneath our darkest impulses.
In these ten strange, funny, and unnerving stories, animals become the litmus test of our deepest fears and longings. In the title story, an elephant keeper courts danger from his gentle charge; in “Miss Waldron’s Red Colobus,” a headstrong young woman in Africa is lured by the freedom of the monkeys in the trees; in “Talk Turkey,” a boy has secret conversations with the turkeys on his friend’s family’s farm; in “Slim’s Last Ride,” a child plays chilling games with his pet rabbit; in “Gallus Gallus,” a pompous husband projects his anger at his wife onto her prized rooster.
This fresh, inventive debut will introduce Hannah Tinti as one of the most gifted writers of her generation. Enter her world at your own risk, and you will come away bewitched.

評分“洗大象的时间到了。” “我”就在洗大象的当儿，把动物园里的同事们回忆了个遍：约瑟夫被狮子咬掉了手臂；艾尔的鹦鹉在他肩上拉屎；漂亮的珊蒂被猩猩毁了左脸；麦克的朋友去夜潜，再也没上得了岸；安的猫为了救她，掉光了全身的毛；伊可看到北极熊在吃邻家小孩的内脏……后来...
