Through the course of its four chapters, I felt as if I had read the ten novels explored and met each cast of characters. Through the lenses of Agamben, Benjamin, Kafka, I achieved an embodied sense of knowing what a post-historical state of human/animal hybridity may achieve.-- Dawnja Burris, Assistant Professor of Media Studies, The New School Author InformationHilary Thompson is Assistant Professor of English at Bowdoin College, USA.
