Shows how current debates in philosophy and literary studies regarding animals and animality have never been far from science fiction. Plus Vint makes a persuasive case that some exceptional writers in this genre offer ideal models for “find[ing] a way to connect with and respect alterity without reducing it to an image of self” and are therefore relevant far beyond the genre. - SUSAN McHUGH
