Product Description
A circus train crashes in the desert. The animals are on their own. The sun is hot. Food is scarce. This is "Top of the Heap."
Writer and artist Keith McCleary's latest book puts a new twist on the wilderness survival story, as a troupe of abandoned circus animals struggle on their own in a harsh and unforgiving wasteland. Existing somewhere between graphic novel, picture book, "Lord of the Flies" and prose poetry, "Top of the Heap" uses lush color schemes and elegant language to weave a haunting narrative with an ending that leaves readers to draw their own conclusions.
Literary and cinematic, bleak and hopeful -- "Top of the Heap" is an illustrated book for adults interested in broadening their definition of the graphic novel, as well as younger readers looking for a picture book with a little extra meat on its bones.
"Top of the Heap" is written and illustrated by Keith McCleary (Killing Tree Quarterly, Deep Throat, Exodus: Death Begets Death.)
