The theme of the three stories that make up John Fraser’s latest literary tour de force, Animal Tales, is sacrifice. Sacrifice for others, for those close to one, or as a once-religious, generalised act. The context is a nature ‘personalised’ in the form of its animals – animals as the screen on which humans project their aspirations and their failures. In the first tale, the female protagonist suffers a series of disappointments – in her art, her civilisation, and the violation of her body. There remains for her only the self-denial and cleansing of consumption by an animal. In '...

This sequel, 'Soft Landing', is the opposite – a novel of quest and adventure, in which scruple is overcome, and demanding or impossible situations have outcomes favourable to the hero. The trail takes us from urban violence to Eldorado, the regime of a bikers’ club, and the secret finds of a prospectors’ camp. The last section shows all puzzles solved, and the protagonists’ return home with gifts. In keeping ...

You will marvel at ... a man whose bald spot reveals the deepest truths to those willing to look; a world where humans don't die but, rather, disappear when it is "their time;" a Sugar-Coated Blueberry Pop Tart having a philosophical discussion with an unsuccessful author; what a little girl does when she discovers a time-travel device inside a box...
