In a series of personal essays, Deborah Thompson relates her own complicity in some of these disordered approaches to nonhuman animals, including such practices as pet-keeping, animal hoarding, animal sacrifice (both religious and scientific), magical thinking, and grieving. The sometimes funny, sometimes poignant essays in this collection deliver dispatches from one representative sufferer of animal disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"ANIMAL DISORDERS is a compassionate but clear-eyed critique of the contradictions and hypocrisies embedded in humankind's messy relationship with animals. In reflective, lovely, often funny prose, Deborah Thompson explores the deep emotions that animals evoke in us, and the ways that emotion, especially grief, upends our beliefs about animals, about ourselves, and about our place in the world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Claire Boyles, author of \u003cem\u003eSite Fidelity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625570252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625570253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Lawrence Press, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Deborah Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996086108415,"sku":"9781625570253","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59684126-1644-49b3-a2dc-330693303f2b.jpg?v=1683339624","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animal-disorders-deborah-thompson-9781625570253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
