About This Item
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: Raincoast Books, 1994. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition hardcover in glossy illustrated boards. Includes book and tape housed in glossy folding box. F/F. "NICK BANTOCK brings a thespian's drama and a comedian's delivery to his reading of the twenty-three poems in Averse to Beasts. For the skewed etiquette portrayed in "Bad Manners," Bantock draws upon his British heritage to affect a most proper and stuffy accent. In his reading of "Thick Soup," a poem describing a stupid pet and its stupider owner, Bantock's loutish pronunciation is perfectly despicable. The "city wolf" of "The Wolf at the Door," who brushes his teeth thrice a year and drools at virgin wool, whispers in a smarmy attempt at animal magnetism. Bantock's performance was recorded live at "The Trough," an animalistic cabaret frequented by lowing cows, twittering birds, and laughing hyenas. Packaged together in this handy portable sleeve, this original recording of Averse to Beasts and its companion book are a terrific gift for the animals in your life.
