Animal Dreamscollects David Brooks thoughtprovoking essays about how humans think, dream and write about other species. Brooks examines how animals have featured in Australian and international literature and culture, from The Man from Snowy River to Rainer Maria Rilke andThe Turin Horse, to liveanimal exports, veganism, and the culling of native and nonnative species. In his piercing, elegant, widely celebrated style, he considers how private and public conversations about animals reflect older and deeper attitudes to our own and other species, and what questions we must ask to move these conversations forward, in what he calls the immense work of undoing.For readers interested in animal welfare, conservation, and the relationship between humans and other species,Animal Dreamswill be an essential, richly rewarding companion.Praise forAnimal Dreamsone of Australias most skilled, unusual and versatile writers Peter Pierce,The Sydney Morning Herald.No one writes about animals like David Brooks.
