TALES OF THE INNER CITY is an anthology of twenty-five stories, each about a particular animal-tiger, snail, hippopotamus, shark, and so on-and how we as humans might respond to their unexpected presence with in a concrete, steel, and glass landscape: the place so many of us now call home.
Some stories deal with love and kinship, the way animals can elevate out spirit; others are about cruelty and disrepect. All are intended to be thought-provoking without being moralizing or overly political, and strange enough to invite variable readings, not unlike a series of interesting dreams.The author sees this collection as both for children and adults.
