Synopsis
This radically uninhibited book delves deeply into the muck and glory of life, tackling the enduring perplexities of love, art, identity, and our bondage to pleasure.
At times exuberant and at other times dark and haunting, Fishbone’s stories explore the twilight zone of New York’s seedy bars and cocaine dens; they reveal the troubled soul of a German expressionist painter; they describe a latter-day "hunger artist” exorcising his own demon; they let us participate in a Venezuelan bacchanal; they confront the tangled lives of sex workers at the margins of society; and they link our contemporary political, social, and personal fixations with the desires, anxieties, and hang-ups of Romans like Catullus and Horace. A work both outrageous and wise, Animal relentlessly probes the human condition in all its wretched and glorious complexity.
