Subtitle: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals
Another brilliant social critique by this amazingly well-read author. By shifting out of the view of the privileged place of humankind, Gray finds a point of view that seems to allow him to tunnel through many of the myths that define our modern view of man, society, the world, the point of it all.
Written in short excerpts that seemingly jump from topic to topic, behind it lies a slowly assembled critique, perspective, understanding that is jarringly clear and revolutionary (?)
It is hard to summarize this book. Great for dipping into randomly to read a section or two.
