Big Appetites

A handful of wranglers are needed to control an exotic lobster pet. A helicopter parent navigates the treacherous edge of a bowl of cereal, clutching her children. A pastry chef throws his fellow bakers under the bus, taking all the credit for a gargantuan pile of macaroons. In a mix of playfulness and dry political and social satire, Christopher Boffoli presents a world in which tiny people negotiate the everyday dramas of life-at work, at play, in love - against a backdrop of normal-size edibles. Each chapter is a 'meal'-Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, Drinks, and Dessert - to satiate every craving.
