In a tale exploring the limitations of language in understanding and describing the Holocaust, a novelist and a taxidermist collaborate on a play about a donkey and a howler monkey who have survived a genocide.
Together the three embark on an epic journey. This novel from Yann Martel’s is a profound meditation on life, art and the liberating power of stories
