Mark Payne's The Animal Part

“How can literary imagination help us engage with the lives of other animals?”

Mark Payne was my next door neighbor at Magdalen College for a year, and the we sort of lost touch, during which time I extricated myself from the UK and he did a Classics PhD at Columbia.

Now it turns out he's published a really exciting looking book called The Animal Part, which I can't wait to get my hands on. Or on which I can't wait to get my hands.

I just found out that it won the prestigious Warren Brooks Award for literary criticism.
