The Precarity of Life

I don't think anyone who reads the book can be depressed, you don't let us rest in our depression for a minute. There's much too much of this sort of humour we might not expect from a book about animals or a book that might be read about children. You relish some of the destructive and humiliating and bizarre aspects of especially the human encounter with animals. I once wrote Sarki the playwright and short story writer and poet who died in the First World War who wrote these very odd, bitiginous, strange stories,. satire mostly on humanity, on our greed, on our petiteness but also they have love and passion in them.
