Review
I have been waiting, since Blood Kin, for another work of fiction by Ceridwen Dovey. Only the Animals is filled with knowledge and wisdom and beauty. It leaves a strange and striking trace on its reader. * Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers * I remember being told once that there are bioluminescent plankton; these stories remind me of that fantastic, startling and real illumination. The animal narrators are not mythic, or naive--they are psychologically full. And though the humans in these stories often act like beasts, having actual beasts tell the stories give the reader a broadened sense of what we affectionately term humanity. * Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances * We challenge you not to get caught up. * Elle * A strange and beautiful work . . . Each story is self-contained, but each is far richer - in terms of emotional and philosophical resonance - for its proximity to the others. To put it another way: Only the Animals is a perfectly integrated work of art brilliantly disguised as a collection of short stories. * The Monthly * Dovey is a natural storyteller . . . The author's portrayals of human-animal interactions evoke images of lasting beauty and power. * Australian Book Review * Dovey writes with the same easy, muscular lucidity in this book as in her first; and both place her as part of a transnational generation of younger authors...whose work stakes a claim, via flamboyant feats of novelistic imagination, for extending fiction's borders past their own geography and time. * Sydney Review of Books * An audacious work of the imagination . . . An extraordinary series of fabulist tales . . . The yarns are funny, tragic, smart, arch, poignant and playful all at once. * Saturday Age * Frequently hilarious... Dazzling. * The Observer *
