This book made me want to wander the streets and press copies of it into the hands of strangers. A family group of proto-humans who speak like English aristocrats? Brilliant! ( )

Published without fanfare some thirty years ago in England, Roy Lewis' Evolution Man: Or, How I Ate My Father has been rescued from the bowels of obscurity by Italian publisher Roberto Calasso. And this comic tale of Pleistocene civilization is quite a find, blending the primal power and oddity of Kafka's and Calvino's parables with a heavy seasoning of Monty Python humor.
