Description
Guy Ableman's life is dominated by his two women: his wife Vanessa and her mother Poppy. They are a force to be reckoned with, bringing chaos and unpredictability into his world. As he struggles to cope with their presence, Guy finds himself questioning the state of literature in general - and his own writing career in particular. With his publisher gone and his agent in hiding, Guy feels like he's lost all sense of purpose. But amidst the despair, a spark of desire remains. He can't help but be drawn to Poppy, and this newfound passion inspires him to imagine one final great book. Zoo Time is a novel about love - love of women, love of literature, and love of laughter. It's a story that's both angry, elegiac, and rude, yet ultimately shows our funniest writer at his brilliant best.
