The grandest petting zoo in the world is facing fresh, even grander injustices. The storks run the show with little more than a shred of decency; the zebras face occupational backlash for their arrangement of stripes; the minks face the final death throes of annihilation; and, in all, rationality is but a fleeting memory.
Will the petting zoo be able to find its way once more, and earn redemption from a sliding slope? Or, has it been passed by wanton squalor, bitterness, emotionality, and arrogance?
In
Petting Zoo
, a collection of allegorical short stories based on an array of anthropomorphic animals, some of the world's troubles, issues, phenomenon, and idiosyncrasies are explored, intended as a provocative invocation of satire, parody, and societal and human examinations, who have now been redefined as the "hairless monkeys". This piece of barbs, burlesques, and ballads may leave you in a state of baboonery, while leaving others outright bothered.
Not for the faint of heart,
challenges much of its audience to have a rethink of contemporary worldviews, noteworthy institutions, low-stakes leanings, dogmatic axioms, and other fixations, taking no one side and also no prisoners.
