Jessica Anthony’s satirical novel Enter the Aardvark combines surrealism, humor and politics represented through a taxidermied aardvark. It follows two related stories of repressed love connected via the aardvark, one of millennial republican congressman Alexander Paine Wilson who receives the stuffed aardvark via a mysterious FedEx dropoff, and the other of Titus Downing from Victorian-era London, the taxidermist who originally the stuffed the aardvark. Both stories weave similarities and secrets the men share across time and space.
"Enter the Aardvark is one wild ride: a condemnation, a haunting, a song of love, a madcap political thriller-and it is absolutely unputdownable. I have long been a massive fan of Jessica Anthony's writing and this novel cements her as one of our most thrilling and singular innovators on the page. Welcome, readers, to her world,” says author of The Third Hotel Laura van den Berg.
