With fierce control, daring, and driving imagination, 'Animal Crackers' launches a remarkable new writer. Hannah Tinti looks into dark places and finds humanity and humour fighting to get into the light.

These strange, funny and unnerving stories offer a brilliantly modern look at the myths and fantasies which connect the animal kingdom with the human.

A zoo worker, cautiously washing down Marysue the elephant, considers the odd, grim fragments he's heard about his co-worker's lives, Giraffes demand better living conditions from their keeper and stage a mock group suicide. A headstrong young woman in post-colonial Africa is lured by the freedom of the monkeys in the trees; a boy plays chilling games with his pet rabbit; a pompous husband projects his anger at his wife on to her prized rooster.

Hannah Tinti's fresh, inventive collection shows her to be one of today's most gifted young writers, and has already won international praise. Snake or dog, cat, buffalo or turkey, the animals in her stories hold up a disturbing mirror to the human beings around them.
