By looking at the relation between language and suffering in twenty-first-century fiction and drawing on a wide range of theoretical approaches, Baker suggests new opportunities for exploring the centrality of nonhuman animals in recent fiction: writing animal lives leads to new narrative structures and forms of expression. These novels destabilise assumptions about the nature of pain and vulnerability, the burden of literary inheritance, the challenge of writing the Anthropocene, and the relation between text and image. Including both well-known authors and emerging talents, from J.M. Coetzee and Karen Joy Fowler to Sarah Hall, Alexis Wright, and Max Porter, and texts from experimental fiction to work for children, Writing Animals offers an original perspective on both contemporary fiction and the field of literary animal studies. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,$x2634-6338 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aAnimal welfare 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aAnimal Welfare/Animal Ethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H67010 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aAnimal welfare. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aAnimal Welfare/Animal Ethics. 676 $a813.54 676 $a809.93362 700 $aBaker$b Timothy C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01190434 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484211003321 996 $aWriting Animals$92845644 997 $aUNINA
