Publisher Synopsis
Sherryl Vint has done seriously valuable work in Animal Alterity: Science Fiction and the Question of the Animal, illustrating how the HAS lens, and by extension other strands of the ecocritical mode, can illuminate texts not normally associated with environmentalism. While her text selection principles could profitably have been clarified, and her engagement with sf readers could have been more detailed, Vint models here just how effective a careful, environmentally minded literary reading can be. * The Goose, Issue 10, Winter * Animal Alterity is an engaging, intelligent study which is perceptively and accessibly theorised, and refreshingly innovative.Peter Wright An intriguing and enlightening book. Nicely produced, well-edited and comprehensive, reflecting a great deal of effort by the author to collect and synthesize the sometimes disparate material ... it is definitely recommended for a university research library.Christopher Basnett, SFRA Review 295 Winter * SFRA Review 295 Winter * Read more...
