Emer is just a woman living in New York City who takes the subway, buys ice cream from the bodega on the corner, has writerly aspirations, and lives with her boyfriend, Con. But is this life she lives the only path she’s on?  

A rollicking, globe-trotting adventure with a twist from the star of The X-Files and Californication, featuring Elsie, an unforgettable four-legged heroine. Holy Cow by David Duchovny is a comic delight that will thrill fans of Jasper Fforde and Ben Aaronovitch. And anyone who enjoys a witty wisecrack in a novel. Elsie Bovary is a cow and a pretty happy one at that. Until one night Elsie sneaks out of the pasture and finds herself drawn to the farmhouse.

Ted Fullilove, aka Mr. Peanut, is not like other Ivy League grads. He shares an apartment with Goldberg, his beloved battery-operated fish, sleeps on a bed littered with yellow legal pads penned with what he hopes will be the next great American novel, and spends the waning malaise-filled days of the Carter administration at Yankee Stadium, waxing poetic while slinging peanuts to pay the rent.

Elsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at that - her long, lazy days are spent eating, napping, and chatting with her best friend, Mallory. 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.

Was haben Kühe, Popkultur und der Palästinakonflikt miteinander zu tun? Gemeinsam sind sie alle Teil unserer heutigen Welt. In dieser Welt macht sich eine junge Kuh namens Elsie auf, etwas an ihrem Schicksal zu ändern. Mit einem zum Judentum konvertierten Schwein und dem wild plappernden Truthahn Tom begibt sie sich auf eine Abenteuerreise, in deren Verlauf der Hörer viel Wahres über die Menschen erfährt. Und dabei leben David Duchovnys tierische Helden genau das vor, was die Welt heute braucht: Toleranz und Menschlichkeit.
