When Henry receives a letter from an elderly taxidermist, it poses a puzzle that he cannot resist. As he is pulled into the world of this strange and calculating man, Henry becomes increasingly involved with the lives of a donkey and a howler monkey - named Beatrice and Virgil - and the epic journey they undertake together.
With all the spirit and orginality that made Life of Pi so treasured, this brilliant new novel takes the reader on a haunting odyssey. On the way, Martel asks profound questions about life and art, truth and deception, responsibility and complicity.

Another great book from the author of the Famous life of Pi, Yann Martel. Henry L'Hote is a tremendously successful novelist who is thwarted in his ambition to publish his next novel. He receives a mysterious box from a fan while taking a vacation from writing, along with a note asking for his assistance and parts of a narrative and a play. What happens next is a scene straight out of a Yann Martel novel. He has a way of making the absurd and unbelievable appear routine.
