Cross-Species Intimacies from Guide Dogs to Artificial Meat
On the cover of Susan McHugh’s book, the subtitle “Narrating across Species Lines” bisects the title “Animal Stories” at a forty-five degree angle. This cover image astutely captures the general thrust of this work of criticism, which provides a number of new angles on literary and visual narratives featuring nonhuman animals — narratives ranging from genre fiction (Baynard Kendrick’s mystery novels featuring a blind war veteran who works as a private investigator with his guide dog) to classic literature (George Orwell’s Animal Farm) to film (Babe) to photography (Sue Coe’s Dead Meat).
Allotment Stories: Daniel Heath Justice and Jean M. O'Brien.
Saving Animals: Elan Abrell and Kathryn (Katie) Gillespie on sanctuary, care, ethics.
Making creative laborers for a precarious economy: Josef Nguyen, Carly Kocurek, and Patrick LeMieux.
