Sobre este título

 'For nearly five years I have wanted to write something about the surrealist painter Emil Bafdescu: about his paintings, one of which hangs in a little restaurant in Melbourne, and about his disappearance, which is still a mystery. But this is probably not going to be the book I imagined. Nothing has quite worked out the way I planned.' With the small inheritance he received upon his father's death, Miles has come to Europe on the trail of the Romanian surrealist, who disappeared into a forest in 1967. But in trying to unravel the mystery of Bafdescu's secret life, Miles must also reckon with his own. Faced with a language and a landscape that remain stubbornly out of reach, and condemned to wait for someone who may never arrive, Miles is haunted by thoughts of his ex-girlfriend, Alice, and the trip they took to Venice that ended their relationship. Uncanny, occasionally absurd, and utterly original, Fever of Animals is a beautifully written meditation on art and grief.©2015 Miles Allinson (P)2015 Bolinda Publishing Ficção Contemporânea Ficção Literária Gênero Ficção

Resumo da Crítica

'As this fever-dream of a novel veers between the quotidian and the nightmarish, it asks vital and difficult questions about the role of art, politics, madness, identity and intimacy ... [a] deeply impressive debut.' (Books+Publishing)
'Heartfelt, darkly comic, and nothing short of extraordinary. Allinson’s novel is a rarity – fearless, finely judged and alive with mystery.' (Andrew Croome)
'[Allinson] has a distinctive and rare authorial voice, one that is alive with wit, intelligence, and energy ... An outstanding new talent.' (Toni Jordan, author of Addition)
'[An] exceptional first novel ... full of art and ideas, and yet so intimate that it feels like a conversation with a dear, intelligent friend ... masterful in its treatment of time and memory, and filled with such clarifying moments of observation and insight that it is heartbreaking to reach the final page. This is an exquisite, painterly novel, and Allinson is a writer destined for a cult following.' (Emily Bitto, Stella Prize–winning author of The Strays)
