That essay can be read here. I also spoke about the essay with the Book Review’s editor, Sam Tanenhaus, for a podcast that can be listened to here. The books I was covering were in many ways rather disparate–one an ethical treatise, one a work of popular science, one a cultural history, and one a personal meditation. But they share, I think, a concern for how the stories we tell about animals affect, for better and worse, the way we treat them.
