About the Author:
Praise for Animals
“[By Emma Jane Unsworth, a] young British writer full of talent, [Animals] is an emotionally complex and often go-for-broke-witty book about the difficulty of letting go, of making choices for yourself, of discovering that the relationships you cling to hardest may be the ones that damage you most."
— The New York Times
"Three cheers for this take of alcoholic love between platonic soul mates."
—Lena Dunham, author of Not that Kind of Girl
“[Animals] is more complex than an ode to the party or a call to responsible adulthood, and [Unsworth’s] characters shine with humanity.”
—The New Yorker
"A fevered tale of female friendship."
—The Observer
"Hilarious, moving, and poetic."
—Glamour Magazine
"Unsworth is a name to watch ... Animals is more than a hymn to partygoing - it is a sharp study of the endurance of female friendship over romantic entanglements and life's challenges."
—Financial Times
"Featuring two women in their early thirties whose voracious appetite for wine make Dionysus look like a lightweight...Unsworth captures the destabilizing doubts that your late twenties/early thirties can trigger."
—The Independent
"This is a book you'll be talking about for years to come. It marks Unsworth as a tremendous talent."
—The Guardian
“An utterly triumphant ode to female friendship, in all its intense, messy and powerful beauty."
—Elle
Emma Jane Unsworth's first novel Hungry, the Stars and Everything (Hidden Gem) won a Betty Trask Award from the society of Authors and was shortlisted for the 2012 Portico Prize. Her short story "I Arrive First" was included in The Best British Short Stories 2012 (Salt). She lives in London.
