Your neighbours may not want to make squirrels into pets or sell you a piece of the moon. Your son may not be asked to donate sperm to his girlfriend’s mother. Your sister may not want you to bring a dead cat across the border. You may not have an imaginary husband, a secret brother, or a friend who has turned to murder in a custody battle. But in each of these stories, people are trying to figure out how to live in a world that doesn’t always seem hospitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith her keen poet’s eye, Julie Paul examines human nature and animal instinct, as the characters in \u003ci\u003eThe Pull of the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e try to negotiate their impulses and desires.
