A zoo worker, cautiously washing down Marysue the elephant, considers the strange, grim fragments he's heard of his co-workers' lives. Giraffes demand better living conditions and stage a mock group suicide. A girl escapes her repressive finishing school to find freedom with the monkeys in the African jungle. Snake or dog, buffalo, cat or turkey, each animal in Hannah Tinti's brilliant, darkly comic collection holds up a disturbing mirror to the human beings around it.
Hannah Tinti grew up in Salem, Massachusetts, and earned her M.A. from New York University's Graduate Creative Writing Program, where she studied under E.L. Doctorow. She has been awarded residency fellowships by, among others, the New York State Writers Institute, and is currently the editor of 'One Story' magazine.
