Caustic, comic, gleefully honest, <i>Mammals</i> tells the story of Uncle, one of life's glorious losers. Uncle is a particularly hapless forty-year-old bachelor, impeccably educated but seemingly unemployable, recently forced to move back into the family home. Uncle is a drunk; he is sarcastic; he fails at numerous relationships and professions. Still, he clings to the hope that, with a little help from booze, sex, and writing, life might at last offer him something meaningful. Riding a handbasket merrily to hell, <i>Mammals</i> delivers a witty and wry anatomization of modern life, and establishes Pierre Merot as an extraordinary and delightful voice of international stature. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne, joint winner of the prestigious IMPAC Award (with Michel Houellebecq, author of <i>Atomized/The Elementary Particles</i>.
