One night, Elsie and Mallory sneak out of their pasture; but while Mallory is interested in flirting with the neighboring bulls, Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees the farmer's family gathered around a bright Box God--and what the Box God reveals about something called an industrial meat farm shakes Elsie's understanding of her world to its core. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere's only one solution: escape to a better, safer world. And so a motley crew is formed: Elsie; Jerry--excuse me, Shalom--a cranky, Torah-reading pig who's recently converted to Judaism; and Tom, a suave (in his own mind, at least) turkey who can't fly, but who \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e work an iPhone with his beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises, they head for the airport. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElsie is our wisecracking, pop-culture-reference-dropping, slyly witty narrator; Tom--who does eventually learn to fly (sort of)--dispenses psychiatric advice in a fake German accent; and Shalom, rejected by his adopted people in Jerusalem, ends up unexpectedly uniting Israelis and Palestinians. In \u003ci\u003eHoly Cow\u003c\/i\u003e, David Duchovny's charismatic creatures point the way toward a mutual understanding and acceptance that the world desperately needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374535902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"David Duchovny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42916869439669,"sku":"9780374535902","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6a5d32fb-1dfa-41ef-b691-fd62c037a57a.jpg?v=1687272580","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/holy-cow-9780374535902","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
