Ple, who wrote that book we were mocking at the Chicago F2F? With the human/animal love and whatnot?
Shit, maybe Meara remembers. I think she brought it.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The lynx book? I just remember seeing it in L.A. the year after, and flea recognizing it sight unseen based solely on the fact it had a lynx in it.

OH, god, the lynx book! ...I have no idea. I think it was a fairly well known author, but...I've totally forgotten.

Yeah, I brought it to LA after taking it home from Chicago. Don't know where it ended up, aside from Not In My Living Room.
Meara, do you remember the title? Was it A Year and a Day? Virginia Henley?

YES, that was it (looking at the cover on Amazon). Dear GOD!

Speaking of beastiality...
Has anyone read "Bear" by Marian Engel? [link] FAQWife insists it's a beautifully written short novel, but I've been kinda scared to read it. From the blurb on the back cover:
... a mousy librarian is summoned to a remote Canadian island to inventory the estate of Colonel Jocelyn Cary. Cary, as the reader quickly learns, has a number of secrets, but the most surprising -- and the most enduring -- is a bear. By page twenty, our librarian has met the bear and "wondered if the bear would be good company." The bear is indeed good company. Intimate company. Shocking company.
