The Perfect Outside

In her dreams Polly is a beautiful macaw flying free in The Perfect Outside. In reality she is no more than a common green parrot, forever looking out through the bars of her cage. Beyond those bars is Fluffy, a Persian Queen of a cat, who loves her indolent, inside life ? and Wadia, her eccentric, stuck-in-a-rut owner and his TV set.

Polly and Fluffy embark on an adventure and explore the meaning of being outside, of freedom and inner happiness.

Is this an allegorical tale like Life of Pi? A life-affirming book of self-actualisation like Jonathan Livingston Seagull? A parable for our times like The Little Prince? Or just a nice story about a parrot and a cat? We'll let you decide.
