In this excellent and original book, David Herman interweaves the study of narrative structures (narratology) with the cross-disciplinary field of animal studies in order to produce a powerful, complex new paradigm for understanding animal narrative. This paradigm empowers narratology and human-animal narrative, across a variety of genres, to join in expanding our view of narratively structured creatural worlds. * Marianne DeKoven, Rutgers University * It represents an important contribution to the theoretical foundations of animal studies and narratology ... Summing up: Highly recommended. * CHOICE *

A convincing mix of theoretical reflection and close reading, Narratology beyond the Human by David Herman reshapes the fundamental categories of story and storytelling in the post-Darwinian era. After his key contribution to the shift from classic to postclassical narratology, David Herman implements here a new paradigm shift that takes seriously the dismantling of the hierarchy between the human and the nonhuman, elaborating new models for the analysis of interspecies contact and interaction. --Jan Baetens, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
