Description
“How can we live without Sean Kane’s inspired madness, his loopy intelligence, and the amplitude of his heart?” – DAVID ABRAM, Visiting Scholar in Social Ecology, Harvard University
As autocrats threaten to command a changing Earth, Sean Kane pictures an ecological revolution led by giddy artists against the egocrat “Meathbreath”— a rogue raccoon who dominates the breeding cycle and rules a city. RACCOON is a mock epic romp through current world events and personalities from the viewpoint of intelligent wildlife, with turbulent romances, ridiculous combats, and always laughter, joy, and wonder.

“Is it a picaresque adventure story? Is it a revenge drama? an animal fable? a family saga? … a symposium? … Sean has given me to understand that Raccoon is also a roman à clef of sorts – and that I myself am the precocious and devious (although bad) poet Touchwit” – MARGARET ATWOOD

Funny and heartwarming without feeling forced. I absolutely love the concept of an anthropomorphic raccoon family and their journey in life. My favourite part was Act I and the depiction of the family’s dynamic.
