Inspired by the fever dream musings of author John Hodgman, this novel tells the story of the coming animal apocalypse, when all animals will turn against all humans throughout the world. When they turn, will the world be ready? The staff at a small zoo. A young girl in the Chinese countryside. A California homemaker. A cat lady in Great Britain. A vivacious couple in South America. A neo-colonialist in Africa. The entire city of Nome, Alaska. They're all about to find out just what they're made of. As it spills from their wounds. Entirely unlikely, but still somehow unsettling, this is the greatest novel in the English language, both timeless and timely, hilarious and upsetting, touching yet devoid of all tact. A page turner, and not very long.
