Author Event: Charlotte Wood Talks About Animal People
29th Nov 2011
Presenter: Allen and Unwin

Event Duration: 120 minutes
Animal People follows Stephen Connelly through the course of one stiflingly hot summer day – a day that becomes one of the worst of his life. It’s the day he has decided to break up with his girlfriend for no good reason at all, yet before he gets to that point, a series of incidents occur – fending off his demanding family, enduring another shift at his dead-end job working the chip fryer in the zoo kiosk, an excruciating team building seminar, facing his girlfriend’s aggressive, successful barrister ex-husband and the hysteria of a 5-year-old’s birthday party!
Animal People is a sharply observed portrait of urban life, a meditation on the conflicted nature of how we treat each other, with an underlying feeling of unease that makes you question your own values, attitudes and actions.
