Review:
About the Author:
‘Eating Mammals will make you laugh, groan, retch, and ultimately be uplifted ... The world is a stranger and therefore better place now that Eating Mammals is in it.’
Niall Griffiths
‘Each of the novellas is fascinated by the rich taste of story, by the sheer industry that story stokes, and by the work that story does in staving off despair, starvation and ignominy.’
Times Literary Supplement
John Barlow teaches at the University of York but still prefers to live in Hull. He hopes soon to divide his time between Spain and the North. This is his first book.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the tradition of T. C. Boyle, Steven Millhauser, and Michel Faber -- with a penchant forthe macabre worthy of Irvine Welsh -- comes Eating Mammals. Gypsies, businessmen, servants, masters, and unwise children come together in three mythical tales from Victorian England. Eating Mammals evokes a lost time and place in which the realm of the magical seems almost too possible: a winged cat wreaks havoc in a Yorkshire workhouse and then in the minds of a succession of owners; a famed stunt eater introduces his apprentice, Captain Gusto, to the delicate art of devouring anything for a living; a blooming romance between two meat-pie makers leads thirty-two adorned donkeys to the altar. Wholly original and as assured as folklore, Eating Mammals marks the arrival of a very distinctive new voice. In the tradition of T. C.
