The Fable of Bing

Raised by bonobos and a controlling zookeeper in the San Diego Wildlife Safari Park, Bing has no clue as to the outside world, until the girl of his dreams entices him into breaking free from the cages. Bing enters the outside world as a stranger in an even stranger land and the world will never quite be the same.

Praise for Tim Sandlin

"Sandlin can see that there is a kind of gruesome comedy in what happens to us, but the humor is never mean, and he loves his people too much not to understand that their grief and frustration and nostalgia are real."
Nick Hornby author of High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked

"As tight and funny as anyone doing this comedy-novel thing."
Christopher Moore author of Lamb and Fool

He's the Lone Ranger in love, riding out the rough patches on a Thorazine habit.
People magazine

I recommend Tim Sandlin to the world.
Drew Barrymore
