Product Description
Most of my stories start with a string of visuals. Years ago I made a winter visit to the zoo where I encountered a mother hippo and her baby, a tethered giraffe, and an escaped capybara. The images rattled around in my brain for years before they coalesced into a story, which surprised me, when what I originally conceived, as something of a black comedy, came to such a bitter end.
