The  young and rich act like nothing can touch them; the tired Gen-Xers feel  forever adrift. On this particularly stressful night, hairdressers,  patternmakers, stylists, and a makeup artist are tasked with preparing  for a last-minute photoshoot without clothes or clear directions. Caught  up in the small dramas of their lives, while around them the world is  fast becoming uninhabitable, the group toils against the impossible  pressure until one of them decides to break away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like a twisted contemporary heir to Virginia Woolf’s \u003ci\u003eTo the Lighthouse\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New Animals\u003c\/i\u003e is  a brilliant and unforgettable dive beneath the surface of life,  uncovering the common ground of humanity, as well as the common plight.","brand":"Dorothy, a publishing project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216622416127,"sku":"9781948980173","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781948980173_s600x595.jpg?v=1775592587","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781948980173","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
