Publisher Description A riveting dystopian novel that examines how humans mistreat animals, and each other: "A powerful piece of writing, and a disturbing call to conscience" (J.M. Coetzee). It is more than 100 years in the future and the horrors of factory farming, combined with the widespread abuse of antibiotics, have led to mass extinctions. The majority of all mammals, birds, and fish that humans have eaten for millennia no longer exist. Those not fully capable are deemed undeserving of an equal share of scarce medical resources and are ultimately classified as less than human. As paranoia about our food supplies spreads, a forceful new logic takes hold; in the blink of a millennial eye the disenfranchised have become our food. Don LePans "well-plotted" and "formally audacious" novel shows us a world at once eerily foreign and disturbingly familiar (Booklist). It follows the dramatic events that unfold within a family after they take in an abandoned mongrel boy. In the sharp-edged poignancy of the ethical questions it poses, in the striking narrative techniques it employs, and above all, in the remarkable power of the story it tells, Animals proves itself a transformative work of fiction. Author Biography Don LePan is the founder of Broadview Press, an independent academic publishing house, and the author of several nonfiction books. Animals is his first novel. Born in Washington, D.C., he has lived in Canada for most of his life.
