Animal: Notes from a Labyrinth - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

‘In this small book, the reader is given much to see, and the narrative functions as a kind of failed therapy. Reader is partially drawn into a rant experienced as a companionate drug and booze-fueled Gonzo ramble. It echoes Hunter S. Thompson, but without redemption or revitalization. Does this critique make Animal unworthy? No, it does not.’ -Tom Casey

A radically uninhibited book that examines the muck and glory of life, confronting the enduring perplexities of love, art, and the human bondage to pleasure.

At times exuberant and at other times dark and haunting, Fishbone’s stories explore the twilight zone of New York and Berlin’s seedy bars and cocaine dens, reveal the troubled soul of a German expressionist painter, describe a latter-day ‘hunger artist’ exorcising his own demons, confront the tangled lives of sex workers at the margins of society, and 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 enthralling complexity.
