"Yok" is a collection of four stories set in Yok, the "wrong side of the tracks" neighborhood in a world inhabited by stuffed animals. Don't be put off by the stuffed animal part - these creatures, Vincent Hare, Mike Chimpanzee, Erik Gecko and Fox Antonio Ortega have drama as poignant as any in the human world. I found their plight immediately gripping and touching. The fox fights for the love of a beautiful cockatoo, the gecko is brutalized by his older brothers, Mike is a musician dealing with the price of fame and the rabbit tormented by his failure to find meaning in life. Their lives are circumscribed by the unique limits of their physical nature. They dread fire, must retreat to a warming closet, if wetted and their lives are brought to a close by the arrival of the Chauffeur. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"When you're tired of run-of-the-mill fiction, it's time to read [Tim Davys]." --Brad Meltzer, author of The Book of Lies "A world that's violent, tender, hilarious, and downright sickening. Really, what could be better?" --Eric Garcia, author of Anonymous Rex Tim Davys is one of the most uniquely imaginative novelists writing today--the architect of Mollisan Town, a dark urban nightmare located in an alternate world populated by stuffed animals that lie, cheat, dream, despair, love, and kill. In the final installment in his acclaimed Mollisan Town Quartet, Davys leads us into Yok, a district of dashed hopes and broken dreams--the seediest neighborhood of "a unique place that is both strange and familiar" (Boston Globe)--and employs an engaging cast of damaged animate plush toys to explore provocative questions of life, death, and morality. Yok is nourishment for readers hungry for off-beat, literary fiction, and fans of Christopher Moore, Neil Gaiman, Clifford Chase, and Jasper Fforde will be inexorably drawn into Davys' ingeniously sculpted world.
