When I first heard about essayist/humorist David Sedaris's new book, I wasn't too excited. Animal parables with illustrations? Really? Is this the road he wants to go do down? But don't judge a book by its premise. In fact, after reading the book, I wanted...

Featuring David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life.
In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.
With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the bestselling Olivia series of children's books, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.

评分讽刺得十分用力0.0 很有意思的一本书。
评分颇具趣味性的寓言故事集。借用小动物的角色,深刻揭露现实的残酷,犀利讽喻人性的黑暗面,诙谐幽默又发人深省,看似荒诞却引人共鸣。David Sedaris讲故事似乎从来都不会有happy ending, 往往在带有强烈讽刺色彩的反转情节中嘎然而止。
评分强推这本黑童话!主角都是小动物但是看得人脊背发凉…颇有点低俗政治版的王尔德范儿
