A sharply observed 24-hour urban love story following one man through one of the worst days of his life, from the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Stone Yard Devotional and The Weekend.
Charlotte Wood's critically-acclaimed early novel, now published outside of Australia for the first time.
Stephen is having the worst day of his life.
On a stiflingly hot summer morning, he has decided it's time to break up with his girlfriend Fiona. He's 39, aimless and unfulfilled, but without a clue how to make his life better. All he has are his instincts - and they may be his downfall.
Making his way through the pitiless city and the hours of a single day, Stephen must endure another shift of his dead-end job at the zoo, fend off the relentless demands of his family, and face up to Fiona's aggressive ex-husband.
As an ordinary day unravels into an existential crisis, Stephen begins to understand - perhaps too late - that love is not a trap, and only he can free himself.
Hilarious, tender and heartbreaking, Animal People is a portrait of urban life, a meditation on the conflicted nature of human-animal relationships, and a masterpiece of storytelling.
