Set in a besieged town facing a yearly massacre, the narrative weaves together dark themes with moments of unexpected optimism. A pathological king's harem contrasts with the inspiring discoveries of researchers and the triumph of a doomed monkey. This debut blends fable and satire, showcasing a unique balance between the grim realities of life and the small joys that emerge amidst chaos, reminiscent of the styles of Steven Millhauser and George Saunders.
