The highly anticipated new book of short fiction from Giller Prize finalist Alexander MacLeod--a magnificent collection about the needs, temptations, and tensions that exist just beneath the surface of our lives. Startling, suspenseful, deeply humane yet alert to the undertow of our darker instincts, the eight stories in Animal Person illuminate what it means to exist in the perilous space between desire and action, and to have your faith in what you hold true buckle and give way. A petty argument between two sisters is interrupted by an unexpected visitor.
