Lydia Millet
ISBN 13: 9781593762520
Publisher: Soft Skull Pr
Publication Date: 2009
Binding: Softcover
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
The author offers a pandora's box of astringent and sentimental confections through a collection of stories, each featuring that pairing that society seems to both love and loathe: celebrities and animals. By a PEN-USA award winner and an Arthur C. Clarke Prize finalist. Original.
Review:
"You could read this collection as a critique--of our celebrity culture, of the uses we make of unresponding creatures--and Millet is sufficiently thorough to layer these resonances in a satisfying way. But that would be to miss the pleasures of the best of these stories: their quickness, their minor graces."
William Davidson, New York Times Book Review, 10/04/2009
Review:"Wry one moment, chilling the next, Lydia Millet's finely crafted stories suggest deep pools of meaning beneath each brilliant surface."
Amanda Heller, Boston Globe, 10/18/2009

Love in Infant Monkeys (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781593762520) Millet, Lydia Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: COUNTERPOINT, United States, 2009. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Original. 201 x 127 mm. Brand New Book. Lions, Komodo dragons, dogs, monkeys, and pheasants--all have shared spotlights and tabloid headlines with celebrities such as Sharon Stone, Thomas Edison, and David Hasselhoff. Millet hilariously tweaks these unholy communions to run a stake through the heart of our fascination with famous people and pop culture. While in so much fiction animals exist as symbols of good and evil or as author stand-ins, they represent nothing but themselves in Millet's ruthlessly lucid prose. Implacable in their actions, the animals in Millet's spiraling fictional riffs and flounces show up their humans as bloated with foolishness, yet curiously vulnerable--as in a tour-de-force, Kabbalah-infused interior monologue by Madonna after she shoots a pheasant on her Scottish estate. Millet treads newly imaginative territory with these charismatic tales.
