Publisher's Synopsis
Alfonzo is an alpaca. His hip friend Mitchell is a llama. They both work at City Hall and are trying to navigate the great furry city collapsing around them. Partly to meet girls, and partly out of a sense that the world might be ending, these lowly city employees embark on an unlikely mission to take down the corrupt system selling the city out from beneath its real inhabitants. Joni Murphy's 'Talking Animals' is a contemporary allegory about community and capitalism, art and protest, the physical and emotional devastation of global warming and the elemental struggle to change one's life.
