Sobre este título
Strolling through Central Park on a blind date with the hilarious, irrepressible Molly Bent, Henry Parsons is feeling hopeful for the first time in years… when a migratory warbler, the sweetest of little birds, tells him to f*** off.
A gentle soul, troubled enough by the unkindness of fellow humans, Henry tries to brush the moment aside as a hallucination. But soon he’s hearing voices everywhere: dogs mocking their owners, sparrows fat-shaming each other, police horses profiling attendees at a street fair — even a pontificating, misogynistic snake. The man who never speaks up for himself is now besieged by animals who do.
When (inevitably) he overhears three rats discussing a corpse in the New York subway, he lets it slip to Molly. She’s keen to investigate, and Henry’s desperate for a second date, so he follows her nervously into an abandoned tunnel under the West Fourth Street Station. There, sure enough, they find a body… and the murderers find them.
Cue the most terrifying week of this cautious man’s life. Inspiration and courage arrive from a pair of feuding betta fish and his neighbor’s yapping Pomeranian — whose unexpected wisdom helps Henry find the courage to assert himself at last.
Resumo da Crítica
“An uplifting, funny, original, and soulful novel! Through his wise and wonderful characters (some two-legged, some four, a few birds and a pair of deeply emotional beta fish), Isaacs has written a story that celebrates goodness, true love, and the magic of New York City. Perfect for fans of Shelby van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures.”—Amy Poeppel, author of The Sweet Spot
