identity  memories of a vicious father  and the indignities of sentience. When a man-made fire
engulfs the encampment  the lion is forced from the hills down into the city the hikers call
ellay. As the lion confronts a carousel of temptations and threats  they take us on a tour that
spans the cruel inequalities of Los Angeles and the toll of climate grief. But even when
salvation finally seems within reach  they are forced to face down the ultimate question: Do
they want to eat a person  or become one?Henry Hoke's Open Throat is a marvel of storytelling 
a universal journey through a wondrous and menacing world recounted by a lovable mountain lion.
Feral and vulnerable  profound and playful  Open Throat is a star-making novel that brings the
mythic to life.
