description: When Ira Fishblatt's girlfriend, Ruth Grubstein, moves into his apartment, he has the kitchen renovated to make her feel at home. She is tickled pink, but hundreds of other houseguests aren't-the cockroaches who'd been living high on the hog before they were starved out. Weiss is a witty fabulist whose animals have profound things to say about the human condition.
