Why read it?
1 author picked Animal as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Joan abandons her life and moves across the country on a quest to find a stranger from her past, convinced it will help her find peace.
In a savagely honest style, Animal recounts Joanâs affairs, family history, a traumatic incident from her youth, and a gaping emptiness within herself that sheâs desperate to understand. âIf someone asked me to describe myself in a single word, depraved is the one I would use.â
Depraved, sure. Maybe. But itâs impossible to be angry at her because sheâs so candid about what sheâs doing and why. The prose itself is fresh and starkâŚ
From Vanessa's list on a divisive/polarizing main character.
