From the author of the Man Booker Prize-winning The Finkler Question and shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, Howard Jacobson's Zoo Time tells the story of struggling novelist Guy Ableman, who is in thrall to his vivacious wife Vanessa. The trouble is, he is no less in thrall to her alluring mother, Poppy. In flight from personal disappointment and universal despair, Guy wonders if it's time to take his love for Poppy to another level. Fiction might be dead, but desire isn't. And out of that desire he imagines squeezing one more great book. This recording is unabridged.
