If you ran into Stephen Tobolowsky on the street, you would not be
mistaken: Yes, you've seen him before. A childhood dentist? A
former geometry teacher? Your local florist? Tobolowsky is a
character actor, one of the most prolific screen and stage
presences of our time, having appeared in productions that range
from Deadwood to Glee, from Mississippi Burning to Groundhog Day.
But Stephen Tobolowsky, it turns out, is also a dazzlingly talented
storyteller and writer. The Dangerous Animals Clubis a beguiling
series of stories combining biography and essay, with a tone both
hilarious and introspective. The stories have heroics and
embarrassments, riotous humour and pathos, characters ranging from
Bubbles the Pigmy Hippo to Stephen's unforgettable mother, and
scenes that include coke-fueled parties, Hollywood sets, and
hospital rooms. Told in a voice that is "wry, discursive, and full
of generous spirit and curiosity" (Kirkus Reviews), Tobolowsky
renders the majestic out of the mundane, profundity from the
patently absurd, and grace from tragedy. The Dangerous Animals
Clubmarks the debut of a massively talented storyteller.
