Eating Mammals: Three Novellas
Autor John Barlowen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 sep 2004
Steven Millhauser, and Michel Faber -- with a penchant for
the macabre worthy of Irvine Welsh -- comes Eating Mammals.
Gypsies, businessmen, servants, masters, and unwise children come together in three mythical tales from Victorian England. Eating Mammals evokes a lost time and place in which the realm of the magical seems almost too possible: a winged cat wreaks havoc in a Yorkshire workhouse and then in the minds of a succession of owners; a famed stunt eater introduces his apprentice, Captain Gusto, to the delicate art of devouring anything for a living; a blooming romance between two meat-pie makers leads thirty-two adorned donkeys to the altar. Wholly original and as assured as folklore, Eating Mammals marks the arrival of a very distinctive new voice.

Recenzii
“Barlow’s imagination appears unlimited, almost attuned to a parallel world.”
“If EdwardGorey and FlanneryO’Connor were to collaborate on a book of fiction, it might wind up alot like Eating Mammals.”
