Summary "The Man Who Liked Lions" by John Bernard Daley is a science fiction narrative that was likely written in the mid-20th century, reflecting the era's fascination with themes of time travel and the human-animal relationship. The storyline delves into the psyche of the protagonist, Mr. Kemper, who appears to hold a deep appreciation for lions, juxtaposed against a backdrop of his alien identity and the foreboding implications of his past. The book explores the intersections of human perception and animal instinct within the context of a zoo setting. In the story, Mr. Kemper, a character marked by his strange demeanor and otherworldly background, observes the lions in a zoo and interacts with various people, including onlookers and fellow patrons. His fascination with these creatures runs deeper than mere admiration—it is revealed that he possesses the capability to influence their behavior through his alien powers. As Kemper navigates the complexities of the human world while being pursued by individuals from his own kind, he orchestrates an unfolding drama at the lion cage that culminates in chaos and violence. Ultimately, the narrative questions the nature of control, instinct, and the blurred lines between predator and prey, showcasing a gripping climax where elemental forces of nature collide with the frailties of mankind.
