Here Be Leviathans | Chris Flynn

2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

A collection of funny, brilliant, boundary-pushing stories from the bestselling author of Mammoth. A grizzly bear goes on the run after eating a teenager. A hotel room participates in an unlikely conception. A genetically altered platypus colony puts on an art show. A sabretooth tiger falls for the new addition to his theme park. An airline seat laments its last useful day. A Shakespearean monkey test pilot launches into space. The stories in Here Be Leviathans take us from the storm drains under Las Vegas to the Alaskan wilderness; the rainforests of Queensland to the Chilean coastline. Narrated in Chris Flynn's unique and hilarious style by animals, places, objects and even the (very) odd human, these short fictions push the boundaries of the form by examining human behaviour from the perspective of the outsider.

Here Be Leviathans is a collection of nine short stories, narrated by animals, places, objects, and even the (very) odd human. A grizzly bear on the run, a plane seat in a terrifying crash, a genetically modified platypus with the power of speech – each and every one, bizarre and brilliant.

I spotted this while browsing in a bookshop yesterday - and in a rare moment of restraint, checked to see if it was available at the library instead of just buying another book to sit on my giant to be read pile. So obviously, I started reading it via BorrowBox on the tram ride home & have since finished it. This is a uniquely Australian short story collection and I enjoyed it a lot, even as I whispered WTF more than once.
