Description

If you ran into Stephen Tobolowsky on the street, you would not be mistaken: Yes, you've seen him before.

A childhood dentist? A former geometry teacher? Your local florist? Tobolowsky is a character actor, one of the most prolific screen and stage presences of our time, having appeared in productions that range from Deadwood to Glee, from Mississippi Burning to Groundhog Day.

But Stephen Tobolowsky, it turns out, is also a dazzlingly talented storyteller and writer.

The Dangerous Animals Clubis a beguiling series of stories combining biography and essay, with a tone both hilarious and introspective.

The stories have heroics and embarrassments, riotous humour and pathos, characters ranging from Bubbles the Pigmy Hippo to Stephen's unforgettable mother, and scenes that include coke-fueled parties, Hollywood sets, and hospital rooms.

Told in a voice that is "wry, discursive, and full of generous spirit and curiosity" (Kirkus Reviews), Tobolowsky renders the majestic out of the mundane, profundity from the patently absurd, and grace from tragedy.

The Dangerous Animals Clubmarks the debut of a massively talented storyteller.
