The Hippopotamus

"Iâ€™ve suffered for my art, now itâ€™s your turn.â€ So begins the tale of Ted Wallace, unaffectionately known as the Hippopotamus. Failed poet, failed theater critic, failed father and husband, Ted is a shameless womanizer, drinks too much, and is at odds in his cranky but maddeningly logical way with most of modern life. Fired from his newspaper, Ted seeks a few monthsâ€™ repose and free liquor at Swafford Hall, the country mansion of his old friend Michael Logan. This world of boozy dinners, hunting parties, and furtive liaisons has recently been turned on its head by miracles, healings, and phenomena beyond Tedâ€™s comprehension. As the mysteries deepen, The Hippopotamus builds into â€œa deliciously wicked and amusing little fableâ€ (The New York Times).
