September Reads 🀎 From the outset, Open Throat by September Reads 🀎 From the outset, Open Throat by Henry Hoke promises to be a wild ride, its eye-popping first line, β€˜I’ve never eaten a person but today I might’, spoken by a queer, non-binary mountain lion, who has made their home alongside the legendary Hollywood sign overlooking Los Angeles. The lion is desperately hungry and spends their days covertly watching the locals, torn between curiosity about human life and the desire to shred passer-by and eat them for lunch. In this razor-sharp allegorical novel, the lion considers modern American society and its impact on the marginalised, whilst being dangerously tempted to join the club. See link in bio for our review. | πŸ“· Henry Hoke @ennuiperkins | #Bookstoker
