Have you ever wondered how life would be in our place if there were domestic dogs and cats? No? Me neither, but he did Cornelius Kane (which is the pseudonym of Anthony O'Neal , Australian author of other things you can find on your site ) with The Ingrattabili . I discovered by accident while I was Christmas shopping - was in 2009, I believe - and I happened up this book, so after reading the back cover and a little 'for opening words I thought were good as a gift for friend. Without the purchase but I could not levarmelo from the head, so the next day or so I went to pick up a copy for me too. Heck, if I did well! Besides being fun, it's somewhat satirical towards the contemporary human society, with our pets vices and virtues that follow - as they say in these cases - of their masters. From the slums of the Kennels of graffiacieli Gathattan, you see them in all colors and all races, including the protagonists McNash Crusher, bull terrier Team investigates mysterious carnicidi seats, Than with the help of Cassius Lap, a Siamese FBI (Feline Bureau of Investigation), and this should already intrigued, but there is even better, a world transformed but recognizable in all its lights and shadows.
Now and then I just finished arm of the law feline , a new venture between noir and yellow, dog and cat, slums and graffiacieli. Really, it happens so rarely to have fun and drink almost a book, or can not wait to find time to devour another generous handful of pages. In most books are unconnected, even if they enjoy a degree of continuity but it is not necessary to know to enjoy them. Another interesting point is the style, as The Ingrattabili is told in first person while Crusher feline arm of the law is flour bag Cassius, then we can say that changing the narrative voice changes too. Hard incorruptible and pure bull terrier, more subtle and reasoned the wily feline. In any case, you must believe me the word but I invite you to look for in a bookstore and browse a few pages. You enter a world of talking animals that never ever could be Disney, with its brutal carnicidi, interspecies prostitution, etc.. fun and fascinating, more reminiscent of Fritz the Cat Tom & Jerry, Goofy and Mickey Mouse and company, with the addition of this atmosphere of smoky noir film that dissolves but does not ridicule Areas. Something we've never read before. Yes, Orwell's Animal Farm , you say ... okay, but I have not read, and amen, and peace to my soul as well as yours.
