<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Marries two separate, delimited worlds: the animal and the human, the here and away, the wars of yesterday and today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A man, returning home one evening after work, discovers his wife brutally murdered, lying in a pool of blood. A cat, their cat, a domesticated animal, tells the man the macabre tale of what happened, and in the second chapter, birds at the window continue the tale. This novel of grotesque realism marries separate, delimited worlds: the animal and the human, the here and away, and the wars of yesterday and today.</p><p><b>Wajdi Mouawad</b> is a Lebanese-Canadian writer, actor, and director now living in France.</p><p><b>Linda Gaboriau</b> is an award-winning literary translator based in Montreal.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Each of these animals and insects is given characterization and a particular voice as narrator, which builds a complex, multifaceted story full of terse language taking readers on a journey from Montreal to New Mexico. --<i>World Literature Today</i><br><br>"Anima's a novel that seeks to touch your soul. And it does: it is dramatic, intense, dark. Wajdi Mouawad explores the land of his character's feelings, as well as his own, which is extreme and complex, just as all his literature is. Human limits, such as cruelty and violence, are some of the axis of his work, developed in a very particular and poetic style throughout all his work. A very special and intense author who has many ingredients [and could] end up becoming, [at] some point, a classic." --Iridescence Mag<br><br>"Nature may be red in tooth and claw, but in Wajdi Mouawad's outstanding novel, Anima, it's humans who are claw-deep in red and animals who benignly observe. ... On one level, the book is a classic murder mystery; on a deeper level, it echoes humanity at its most primal. The animals who tell the tale soar above all, overlaying the harsh, monochrome world of humans with glimpses of a richer world, wonderful in its variety but heartbreakingly beyond our perception. ... Startling, inventive, and beautifully crafted, Anima conveys small themes as well as large ones, and does so in a beguiling framework that effectively balances the story's underlying savagery." --Foreword Reviews<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Wajdi Mouawad: Playwright and director Wajdi Mouawad was born in Lebanon and then lived in Quebec before settling in France. His play <i>Incendies</i> won critical acclaim and huge success as a film by Denis Villeneuve. In 2009, Mouawad received the Prix du Théâtre of the Académie française.
