SQUIRREL SEEKS CHIPMUNK: A MODEST BESTIARY

Book ID/图书代码： 03890010B38127

English Summary/英文概要： This collection of sharply observed animal-themed tales is a delight, told with David Sedaris’s trademark blend of hilarity and goodnaturedness. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of our own everyday interactions.

In ‘The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck’, three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In ‘Hello Kitty’, a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In ‘The Squirrel and the Chipmunk’, a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这部以动物为主题的故事 也许不是人为主角，但其情形绝不亚于我们每天要面对的种种联系，流溢着作者标志性的欢乐与温和。

在“蟾蜍、乌龟和鸭子”中，三个陌生人一边耐心排队等候，一边怜悯起动物官僚主义；在“你好，凯蒂”里，危机潜伏；在本书里，一对倒霉的恋人在家人的偏见下被迫分开。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
