Lions, Komodo dragons, canine, monkeys, and pheasants — all have shared spotlights and tabloid headlines with celebrities resembling Sharon Stone, Thomas Edison, and David Hasselhoff. Millet hilariously tweaks those unholy communions to run a stake throughout the middle of our fascination with recognized humans and pa culture.While in lots fiction animals exist as symbols of fine and evil or as writer stand-ins, they characterize not anything yet themselves in Millet’s ruthlessly lucid prose. Implacable of their activities, the animals in Millet’s spiraling fictional riffs and flounces appear their people as bloated with foolishness but apparently susceptible, as in a tour-de-force Kabbalah-infused inside monologue via Madonna after she shoots a pheasant on her Scottish property. Millet treads newly resourceful territory with those charismatic stories.
