具体描述
With bravura storytelling, daring imagination, and fierce narrative control, this dazzling debut introduces that rare writer who finds humanity in our most unconventional behavior, and the humor beneath our darkest impulses. 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 a oeMiss Waldrona (TM)s Red Colobus, a a headstrong young woman in Africa is lured by the freedom of the monkeys in the trees; in a oeTalk Turkey, a a boy has secret conversations with the turkeys on his frienda (TM)s familya (TM)s farm; in a oeSlima (TM)s Last Ride, a a child plays chilling games with his pet rabbit; in a oeGallus Gallus, a 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.

这是《动物怪谭》中的第二则短篇小说。 小说开篇第一句直白而精巧：“小派和克莱德遇害那晚吃的是炖牛肉。”没有其他罪案或推理小说在开头的烘托渲染或藏藏掖掖，只用简单的一句话，便引起了读者的兴趣。一起凶杀案。小派和克莱德是一对夫妻，他们的生活看样子还算温馨和睦，餐...
