“Animals is an impressive book that makes a powerful statement—I think it is the Animal Farm of these times. It’s also an accomplished work formally; a flowing narrative forms its central current, but brilliant shifts in style and narrative voice keep swirling within that current, and strong commentaries that are moral yet not homiletic keep forming eddies around it.” —Victor Ramraj, Professor of English Literature, University of Calgary
a deeply moving narrative that can change your life—it did mine.” —Thomas Hurka, Jackman Distinguished Chair in Philosophical Studies, University of Toronto
"A horrifically beautiful narrative"—The Hour
