Carol’s first book cover: award-winning author, John Fulton’s The Animal Girl.
The five heartbreaking and radiant stories in The Animal Girl explore the awkwardness of situations in which grief and erotic love collide. Here are people in extremis, struggling mightily, and often failing, to keep it together. In the novella-length title story, for instance, a lonely adolescent girl deals with the recent loss of her mother and the alien presence of her father’s new girlfriend by taking out her aggression on her boss and on the animals she cares for in her summer job at a research laboratory.
In these powerful stories, Fulton navigates the complexity of both mid-life courtship and adolescent rage with grace and humor.
