Boyle, \u003cbr\u003eSteven Millhauser, and Michel Faber -- with a penchant for\u003cbr\u003ethe macabre worthy of Irvine Welsh -- comes \u003cem\u003eEating Mammals\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003eGypsies, businessmen, servants, masters, and unwise children come together in three mythical tales from Victorian England. \u003cem\u003eEating Mammals\u003c\/em\u003e evokes a lost time and place in which the realm of the magical seems almost too possible: a winged cat wreaks havoc in a Yorkshire workhouse and then in the minds of a succession of owners; a famed stunt eater introduces his apprentice, Captain Gusto, to the delicate art of devouring anything for a living; a blooming romance between two meat-pie makers leads thirty-two adorned donkeys to the altar. Wholly original and as assured as folklore, \u003cem\u003eEating Mammals\u003c\/em\u003e marks the arrival of a very distinctive new voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Barlow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060591757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060591755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.30w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 588\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/12\/2004 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2004 pg. 1895\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/26\/2004 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 158","brand":"John Barlow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44829664313599,"sku":"9780060591755","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea378d79-9e35-4a98-8922-51f465c11e70.jpg?v=1708451346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eating-mammals-john-barlow-9780060591755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
