Animal Dreams

English

By (author): David Brooks

Animal Dreams collects David Brooks thought-provoking 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 and The Turin Horse, to live-animal exports, veganism, and the culling of native and non-native 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 Dreams will be an essential, richly rewarding companion.

Praise for David Brooks

one of Australias most skilled, unusual and versatile writers

Peter Pierce, The Sydney Morning Herald.

No one writes about animals like David Brooks.

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson (author of The Assault on Truth, When Elephants Weep and Lost Companions)

Praise for Animal Dreams

Beautifully written and emotionally and intellectually enthralling. The best book I have ever read on relations between humans and animals and the redress we owe them. It makes you angry, it makes you weep; it makes you determined to rethink and to act.

Helen Tiffin, FAHA (co-author of The Empire Writes Back and Wild Man from Borneo: A Cultural History of the Orangutang)
