The Fauverie of this book is the big-cat house in the Jardin des
Plantes zoo. But the word also evokes the Fauves, 'primitive'
painters who used raw colour straight from the tube. Like The Zoo
Father, Petit's acclaimed second collection, this volume has
childhood trauma and a dying father at its heart, while Paris takes
centre stage - a city savage as the Amazon, haunted by Aramis the
black jaguar and a menagerie of wild animals. Transforming
childhood horrors to ultimately mourn a lost parent, Fauverie
redeems the darker forces of human nature while celebrating the
ferocity and grace of endangered species.
