An Observer and Spectator Book of the YearShortlisted for the Historical Writing Association Gold Crown AwardMeet Yuri Zipit. A boy who's had a bang on the head in a collision with a Moscow milk truck. He has a kind face, makes friends easily, and likes to help. People want to tell him their secrets. Including the Great Leader himself, who takes a shine to Yuri when he employs him for his natural talents. In his new job, Yuri will witness it all - betrayals, body doubles, buffoonery. Who knew that a man could be in five places at once? That someone could break your nose as a sign of friendship? That people could be disinvented . . .?The Zoo is a brilliantly cutting satire told through the voice of one incredible boy.
Original and fresh, cynical and innocent, amusing and horrific, cruel and humane, plausible and unbelievable. brilliantly written and resolutely unsentimental. A funny and poignant and a wonderful book.
I absolutely loved it! So nimble and acute, by turns briskly hilarious and deeply humane. The Vonnegut comparisons are justified.
Riveting. The energy and originality of Christopher Wilson's imagination is at its most striking in this fascinating novel. It's narrator and central character, is so engaging that it's impossible to put the book down.
