THE POLITE ANIMALS™ (en Inglés) - Ben Panulo Junior

Behind marriages, faith, reputations and ordinary routines are private negotiations most people never witness: desires that remain fantasies, secrets that protect and betray, loves that do not fit the rules, choices made from fear, and lives haunted by the person they might have become.

THE POLITE ANIMALS is an imagined archive of those hidden lives.

Through intimate confessions, letters, journals, conversations, relationship agreements and contradictory accounts, the book moves across cultures and generations to examine desire, love, jealousy, shame, faith, money, aging, freedom and the distance between what people do and what they tell themselves it means.
