Publisher Comments:

Ben Dolnick was born in 1982 and grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He graduated from Columbia University, where he studied English and writing. He has worked as a zookeeper at the Central Park Zoo, a bookseller, a research assistant in an immunology lab, and a tutor. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. Zoology is his first novel.

Synopsis:

After flunking out of college, Henry Elinsky moves to New York and takes a job at a children's zoo, enjoying his new role as a wage-earner and non-failure, until he falls for beautiful, wise-cracking Margaret, his family begins to crumble around him, and he makes a terrible mistake at his job, in a debut coming-of-age novel. Original.

Synopsis:

Zoology is the story of Henry Elinsky, a college flunk-out who takes a job at the Central Park Zoo and discovers that becoming an adult takes a lot more than just a weekly paycheck.
