Imperial Beast Fables
This book coins the term ‘imperial beast fable’ to explore modern forms of human-animal relationships and their origins in the British Empire. Taking as a starting point the long nineteenth-century fascination with non-European beast fables, it examines literary reworkings of these fables, such as Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books, in relation to the global politics of race, language, and species. The imperial beast fable figures variably as a key site where the nature and origins of mankind are hotly debated; an emerging space of conservation in which humans enclose animals to manage and control them; a cage in which an animal narrator talks to change its human jailors; and a vision of animal cosmopolitanism, in which a close kinship between humans and other animals is dreamt of. Written at the intersection of animal studies and postcolonial studies, this book proposes that the beast fable embodies the ideologies and values of the British Empire, while also covertly critiquing them. It therefore finds in the beast fable the possibility that the multitudinous animals it gives voice to might challenge the imperial networks which threaten their existence, both in the nineteenth century and today.

Kangaroo Notebook
"At breakfast one morning, the narrator of Kangaroo Notebook discovers to his horror that what appear to be radish sprouts are growing out of his shins. Thus begins Kobo Abe's strange and wonderful last novel, completed not long before his death in 1993, and set in a skewed version of modern urban Japan. Funny and terrifying by turns, it is the story of an ordinary man in the grip of bizarre and thoroughly extraordinary forces - a self-propelled hospital bed that takes him literally to the edge of hell, doctors eager to cure the wrong ailments, mysterious windstorms, a nurse devoted to taking blood (her monthly quota is about three quarts), infant ghosts, and an American known as Master Hammer Killer who is making a film called Fatal Accidents."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
