Short stories that feature animals. Each story starts out normal enough, more or less like an Aesop's Fable, but then gets more preposterous as far as animals go and then more and more relevant to life as we live it today. But to me a lot of the stories were unneccessary violent or just depressing. At first I enjoyed Falconer's illustrations but when some were more graphic than I wanted it just left a bad taste in my mouth. I think my favorite ones were early on and as the stories got more perverse I just didn't enjoy it.
I've enjoyed the other books by Sedaris that I've read so was disappointed in this collection.
