David Abram’s Becoming Animal, a “provocative, boldly recalibrating blend of stories, reflections, and discoveries . . . prodigious, transfixing, and rectifying” (Booklist, starred review) is now on sale from Pantheon Books. “The author is an inspired force who invites the neglected yet ever-present serendipities of the natural world to show themselves,” hails Kirkus, and the LA Times asserts that Becoming Animal is “an exploration of how cutting the roots, the tentacles of meaning that first tied us to nature and to our own wild natures has paved the way to self-destruction . . . . [It] helps the reader remember his or her place in the larger, luminous world.”
