The Lemming Condition

by Alan Arkin
Alan Arkin
Audiobook
Bubber, a lemming, and his family are getting ready. It is the morning of the great march west and the leap into the sea. Bubber is excited— until his friend Crow starts asking questions. Bubber struggles with the decision to participate in what appears to be an insane death walk, only to be told constantly by family and friends that this is just the way things are. In this allegory about conformity, Bubber is faced with following his entire race to self-induced extinction. Will he give in to fear and propaganda? Will Bubber follow tradition or think independently and make his own reasoned decision before the day is over? A superb lesson on conformity, critical thinking, and personal accountability, this young-adult novel is read by the story' s author, Oscar-winning actor and author Alan Arkin.
