ANGELA AND BEAR

by Susan Jeschke ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 21, 1979

Why are Jeschke's people such grotesques and her animals so appealing? The question has particular point because the story turns, this time, on the fate of the bear Angela draws that comes alive and, to her chagrin, takes a liking to another bear in the zoo: will the tenacious Angela, a thoroughly unsympathetic sort, let it find happiness finally with fond Lola? Yes, indeed, but somehow the whole drawn-out affair has a sour aspect that Angela's eventual capitulation--and genuine regret--doesn't redeem.
