Stories that affirm the indelible bond among humans and animals
The relationships among human and non-human animals go back to the beginning of timeāand the ways in which these relationships have evolved (and sometimes not) is the inspiration for this collection of contemporary short fiction, penned by writers from across the globe.
This diverse collection of stories explores the ways in which we live amongāand often in conflict withāour non-human counterparts. These stories feature animals from the familiar (dogs and cats) to the exotic (elands and emus), and in these stories animals are both the rescuers and the rescued. Within these pages are glimpses of the world through the eyes of a zookeeper, a shelter worker, a penguin researcher, and a neighborhood stray, among many othersāall highlighting the ways in which animals and humans understand and challenge one another.
Among AnimalsĀ is a dynamic collection of stories from the worldās most gifted contemporary authorsāthose who pay close attention to the creatures with whom we share our planet, and who inspire us to pay closer attention as well.
