Literary Fiction Lover
, November 28, 2018
I Animal is a humorous and thoughtful literary fiction novel about an LA writer, Tommy D’Angelo, who must return to his hometown of Buffalo, NY in order to care for his ailing mother. While home, the stress of being around family causes him to feel like he’s turning into some kind of wolf-like creature. His anxiety further manifests in a manic desire to uncover what nefarious activity his second cousin, Little Sal, is up to around the neighborhood. Ultimately, Tommy realizes he loves his family, as strange as they are. Furthermore, his imagined nightly jaunts as a wolf-man help him come to terms with what it means to be a human being. I’d recommend I Animal if you enjoy stories about the tough love experienced among members of a family, especially if you have a sense of humor.
