Meet Mr. Fox, celebrated writer who loves killing off the heroines in his book. He is married to Daphne Fox and things are going fine until his imaginary muse, Mary Foxe, enters the scene. Mary belittles him for his treatment of female heroines and challenges his literary actions. She tries to change the course of his stories \u00a0by transforming him (and wife) from author into subject and thus unfolding a different story. Meanwhile Daphne suspects her husband is having an affair. And then Daphne and Mary meet each other face-to-face.<\/p>\n

Review of Mr. Fox<\/em><\/h3>\n
Mr. Fox <\/em>is a dumpling. A dumpling of magical realism filled with finely chopped bits of fantasy and literary fiction. The book cannot be strictly categorized into a genre since chapters often slip into fairytale retellings.<\/p>\n
