A chilling fable taht joins such great political satires as Animal Farm and 1984, Doctor Rat is an unforgettable indictment of man's inhumanity to man, and to all living things. With macabre humor and bitter irony, Kotzwinkle uses his fast talking rodent, Doctor Rat, as mankind's apologist in an animal experimentation laboratory grotesquely similar to a Nazi concentration camp. There he spins a frightening moral tale so harsh, so real, so timely, it simply cannot be ignored.
