A brilliant amalgamation of history, literature, horror, humor and humanity, unfolding with pageturning energy. Petalama ArgusCourierFromNew York Timesbestselling author Christopher Moore comes a hilariously deranged tale of a mad scientist, a famous painter, and an undead womans electrifying journey of selfdiscovery. Vienna, 1911. In this work of historical fantasy comedy, Gustav Klimt, the most famous painter in the Austrian Empire, the darling of Viennese society, spots a womans nude body in the Danube canal. He knows he should summon a policeman, but he cant resist stopping to make a sketch first. And as he draws, the woman coughs. Shes alive!Back at his studio, Klimt and his modelturnedmuse Wally tend to the formerlydrowned girl. Shes nearly feral and doesnt remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory. With a little help from the fathers of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man named Victor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld. So how did she get here? And why are so many people chasing her, including Geoff, the giant croissanteating devil dog of the North?Poor Things meets Bride of Frankenstein in Anima Rising, Christopher Moores most ingenious (and probably most hilarious) novel yet.
