human/animal
a bestiary in essays
Description
Part memoir, part cultural criticism, part bestiary, Human/Animal begins as a search to understand the threats from two neighbours who tried to force the author and her family out of their new home and becomes an examination of the relationship between power and fear as it emerges through patriarchy, violence, and history. Braiding personal narrative and cultural criticism with etymological studies of the animal names we use as verbs, Human/Animal is a contemporary bestiary told in essays.
