Zoo Time
by Howard Jacobson
đ Winner of the 2013 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction
This satirical follow-up to Jacobson’s Booker Prize-winning The Finkler Question introduces the writer Guy Ableman, “a man ruled by pointless ambition and a blazing red penis.” His twin preoccupations with his temptingly attractive mother-in-law and the decline of modern literary culture drives this rambunctiously clever meta-comedy.
