UEA Publishing Project Animalia Paradoxa: Stories

A virus inflames a woman with mortal desire; a colonial naturalist seeks an impossible specimen; invisible violence stalks a safari; and a childs bullying summons archaic armies. Ranging from taut human drama to phantasmagoria, these scenes make rich and strange connections between ancient and new, human and animal, Africa and Europe, reality and dream. Includes prize-winning stories as well as previously unpublished works from one of South Africas foremost novelists. Autorid: Henrietta Rose-Innes
