Wombats sur ma gauche, wombats sur ma droite : tous pi�tinaient et grognaient. Plant� parmi eux au clair de lune, immense, le corps flasque et hardi, le filet dans une main, la seringue dans l'autre, j'attendais le wombat qui m'int�ressait. [...] Avec l'aisance du geste entra�n�, je lui lan�ai le filet sur le corps. Il le d�chiqueta en moins de deux secondes. [...] Comment �tais-je cens� m'y prendre � partir de l� ? K. C.

Une rencontre dans un bar, quelques bi�res fra�ches, et voil� Kenneth Cook, �crivain d'�ge m�r � en l�ger surpoids �, embarqu� dans d'incroyables aventures o� la faune humaine et animale du bush joue le premier r�le. Kangourou suicidaire, koalas explosifs, wombats vindicatifs, aborig�nes roublards finissent toujours par contrarier son penchant naturel pour le confort. Heureusement, car Cook en tire une brass�e d'histoires plus vraies que nature, racont�es avec un art consomm� du gag. Une lecture jubilatoire.
