Description
A queer mountain lion narrates this star-making fever dream of a novel. Living in a drought-devastated land under the Hollywood sign, the lion spends their days protecting a nearby homeless encampment and grappling with their gender identity, memories of a vicious father, and the indignities of sentience. When a man-made fire engulfs the encampment, the lion is forced from the hills down into the city. As they confront a carousel of temptations and threats, they take us on a tour that spans the cruel inequalities of Los Angeles and the toll of climate grief. But even when salvation finally seems within reach, they are faced with an ultimate question: Do they want to eat a person, or become one? This is a marvel of storytelling, a universal journey through a wondrous and menacing world recounted by a lovable mountain lion. Feral and vulnerable, profound and playful, Open Throat brings the mythic to life in a deeply moving and original adventure.
