Title: Animal Crackers Subtitle: Stories Author: Hannah Tinti Narrator: Laural Merlington, Dan John Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 06-29-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In these strange, funny, and unnerving stories, animals become the litmus test of our deepest fears and longings. In the title story, an elephant keeper courts danger from his gentle charge; in "Miss Waldron's Red Colobus," a headstrong young woman in Africa is lured by the freedom of the monkeys in the trees; in "Talk Turkey," a boy has secret conversations with the turkeys on his friend's family's farm; in "Slim's Last Ride," a child plays chilling games with his pet rabbit; in "Gallus Gallus," a pompous husband projects his anger at his wife onto her prized rooster. This fresh, inventive debut will introduce Hannah Tinti as one of the most gifted writers of her generation. Enter her world at your own risk, and you will come away bewitched. Critic Reviews: "Animal Crackers is a most promising effort, with remarkable range and inventivenessand a deliciously deadpan sense of humor. [W]hat makes these stories extraordinary is Tintis subtext: what we are capable of doing to each otherand to nature." (Los Angles Times) "The stories begin with firecracker first sentences, leaving the reader no choice but to read on." (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) "Tintis work is not for the faint of heartgraphic descriptions of violence and human dissection will deter some readersbut those who stick with her will find themselves richly rewarded. In Animal Crackers, Tinti opens the door to a darkness we all fear and bravely steps forth to meet it." (Charlotte Observer)
