'Very funny . With Fox 8 Saunders does something one might in isolation think it almost
impossible for a book to do which is to resensitise the reader to violence' Guardian An
enchanting and darkly comic fable of human greed and nature from the Man Booker Prize-winning
author of Lincoln in the Bardo exquisitely illustrated by Chelsea Cardinal Fox 8 has always
been curious and a bit of a daydreamer. And by hiding outside houses at dusk and listening to
children's bedtime stories he has learned to speak 'Yuman'. The power of words and the stories
built from them is intoxicating for a fox with a poetic soul but there is 'danjur' on the
horizon: a new shopping mall is being built cutting off his pack's food supply. To save
himself and his fellow foxes Fox 8 will have to set out on a harrowing quest from the wilds of
nature deep into the dark heart of suburbia.
