About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Grisly and atmospheric, these are perfectly nasty little tales told by an
acknowledged mistress of the form ( Little Tales of Mysogyny. Whether it's
Eddie, the Capuchin monkey, annoyed at the petty thief who employs him, or
Djemal, the camel, getting back at a cruel driver, Highsmith's creatures are
intelligent, vengeful and bloodthirsty. Even the aged Baron, a pampered and
sophisticated city dog with worn-down teeth, finds a way of settling the score
with the human he dislikes. Tales are told of a truffle-hunting pig, a ferret, a
goat who gives rides in an amusement park, a sleek Siamese cat, chickens raised
on an automated farm and an extended family of hamstersall sympathetically, but
never sentimentally, portrayed. The stories feature small worlds of animal
amorality in which the sweet taste of revenge leaves no aftertaste of guilt.
It's a rich offering, best sampled in small bites.
