The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore by Benjamin Hale

He grew up in Colorado and now lives in New York. He has been a night shift baker, a trompe l’oeil painter, a cartoonist, an illustrator and a technical writer. His untimely outbursts ultimately cost Lydia her job, and send the unlikely pair on what proves to be one of the most unforgettable journeys-and most affecting love stories-in recent literature.īenjamin Hale received a University of Iowa Provost’s Fellowship to write The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore, which also went on to win a Michener-Copernicus Award.

But for all of his gifts, the chimpanzee has a rough time caging his more primal urges. Hales daring is most obvious in his portrayal of the relationship between Bruno and Lydia, which eventually breaks the one sexual taboo even Nabokov wouldnt touch. Lydia takes Bruno into her home to oversee his education and nurture his passion for painting. See the best price to sell, buy, or rent books by Benjamin Hale.
