\n

It is a strange day when a man wakes up in the body of a barely verbal parrot. It is even stranger when the Parrot is promptly purchased by his ex-wife and brought to live in his own home with her new lover. But when his cage is left open, the Parrot soars into contemporary America\u2014a land where everyone talks and no one listens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his mother who doesn\u2019t recognize him, to a young girl who wants to adopt him, to a crow haunted by the Civil War, the Parrot collects words like ammunition in a world where discourse has gone mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by Butler\u2019s acclaimed New Yorker story, Citizen Parrot is an absurd, touching, and redemptive allegory of personal and social unrest. Recalling the imaginative works of Cervantes, Twain, and Allende, this bold, picaresque journey takes us through the perils and promise of modern America.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Es un d\u00eda extra\u00f1o cuando un hombre se despierta en el cuerpo de un loro que apenas puede hablar. A\u00fan m\u00e1s extra\u00f1o es cuando su exmujer lo compra y se lo lleva a vivir a su propia casa con su nuevo amante. Pero cuando la jaula se abre, el Loro viaja a la Am\u00e9rica contempor\u00e1nea, una tierra en la que todo el mundo habla pero nadie escucha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde su madre que no lo reconoce a una ni\u00f1a que quiere adoptarlo, pasando por un cuervo abrumado por la Guerra Civil, el Loro recoge palabras como munici\u00f3n en un mundo en el que el discurso se ha vuelto loco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspirado por el aclamado relato \u00abNew Yorker\u00bb de Butler, Citizen Parrot<\/em><\/strong> es una alegor\u00eda absurda, emotiva y redentora del malestar personal y social. Recuerda a los trabajos imaginativos de Cervantes, Twain y Allende, este viaje atrevido y picaresco nos llevar\u00e1 por los peligros y las promesas de la Am\u00e9rica moderna.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
