Animals

Animals is an impressive book that makes a powerful statement I think it is the Animal Farm of these times. Its also an accomplished work formally; a flowing narrative forms its central current, but brilliant shifts in style and narrative voice keep swirling within that current, and strong commentaries that are moral yet not homiletic keep forming eddies around it. Victor Ramraj, Professor of English Literature, University of Calgary, editor of Concert of Voices: An Anthology of World Writing in English""""""""As an analysis of the human capacity to reconcile sentiment with savagery, it's spot on: psychologically incisive, admirably disquieting . . . Le Pan may openly grind his axe, but what makes the book powerful is just how keenly that axe cuts through our ethical hypocrisy."""""""
