Description
This World Fantasy Award winner in the vein of Animal Farm delves into a lab worthy of a mad Nazi scientistbut run by a brilliantly sadistic rodent.
In the annals of American literature, there has never been a character quite like Doctor Rat, PhD. From one of the most indispensable storytellers in speculative fiction, this biting satire introduces a narrator of learned charm and humor, and a twisted logic that is absolutely chilling.
Doctor Rat is a credit to his species. A survivor of the most refined scientific experiments, now removed from the maze, he has become a valued and productive member of the academic community. When he must administer a lethal dose, he comforts his fellow rats with his compassionate slogan: ';Death is freedom.'
But everything changes when animals worldwide begin to rebel, refusing to accept their proper places in the natural order of things: as test subjects, pets, or food. And only Doctor Rat has the courage to defend mankind from the ungrateful animal kingdom.
Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as ';dazzlingly original' and ';occasionally quite beautiful,' Doctor Rat is a sly and stylish indictment of fanaticism in mice and men.
';A truly imaginative impresario ... [Doctor Rat] teases your conscience with educated wit and versatile improvisation, not to mention the casual flick of the tail about to be cut off.' Kirkus Reviews
