Little is known in Spain on Kenneth Cook, Australian author died twenty-four years ago, also a writer, a journalist, television presenter, writer, political, and circumstantial , attention!, creator of the first butterfly farm in Australia. A guy that knows the society of his country and jackets have a great sense of humor could not write a book like this. murderer The koala is a compendium of ironic stories, some crazy and close to the absurd, where the characters must face situations that can only happen in Australia profound.
story in the book's title presents a situation that summarizes, in broad terms, the essence of these stories. Narrated in first person, an Australian who does not understand that stuffed animals are made of koalas, they are not very sociable animals as they seem, suddenly is attacked by one of them: "Have you ever tried running with the claws of a koala stuck in the chest and thighs and her teeth stuck in the crotch? "he asks, is impossible." In another story, which opens the book ( Snakes and alcohol), features Blackie, a lonely and somewhat deranged live in a moving van loaded with hundreds of snakes that travel hoping to find a
p ublic willing to pay to see them. In another ( Sex and crocodiles), a traveler accompanying a terrified natural science teacher can not see the threat to the huge teeth of a crocodile because he is too engrossed in photographing the mating of the species.
He constantly warns that each of the stories he tells are true, but they are so strange that most likely no one will believe them. Although it sounds like another of his irony, the truth is that it tells us is so alien to us, which would not be so decabellado think that something is true. Cook portrays the typical Australian fauna (koalas, crocodiles, snakes and camels, among others), the arid desert landscape so typical of the deep zone of the country and even to men who "can cheat, take flight with his wife , seduce his daughter, to corrupt their children and even steal your dog and still it is possible to forgive you, but since you refuse to drink with him will be part of the lineage of the dingoes, you'll be a pariah forever unredeemed, unworthy of the bullet that otherwise would enc
ANTAD of descerrajarte . "
murderer The koala is the first volume of a trilogy of books of humorous stories, the following Wombat Revenge and Frill-necked Frenzy not yet translated in Spain. It is worth approaching the wild Australia Cook shows us through these fifteen stories so bright, so well introduced by Guido Sender illustrations and I would say that as essential. The author keeps the pace at all times and I guarantee that every story you read will like more than the last and final will regret that it has at least twenty or thirty pieces to continue enjoying these Australian comic stories. And believe me, never forget that the crocodiles are very fast over short distances, that snakes are Taimana and deadly breath smells of camels hell.
