About this ebook

Beginning with Yuka, a 39,000-year-old mummified woolly mammoth recently found in the Siberian permafrost, each of the sixteen essays in Animals Strike Curious Poses investigates a different famous animal named and immortalized by humans. Modeled loosely after a medieval bestiary, these witty, playful, whipsmart essays traverse history, myth, science, and more, bringing each beast vibrantly to life.

Elena Passarello is an actor, a writer, and recipient of a 2015 Whiting Fellowship in nonfiction. Her first collection with Sarabande Books, Let Me Clear My Throat, won the gold medal for nonfiction at the 2013 Independent Publisher Awards. She lives in Corvallis, Oregon.

    And a half star. I think everyone will have their favourites. Mine were Arabella, Lancelot and Vogel Staar. I didn't get through them all but it is the sort of book that rewards dipping here and there to enjoy whatever you fancy.... and there's some quite disturbing parts.

    If you love animals, you will never see them the same way again after reading Elena Passarello's brilliant, soulful collection of essays based on the stories of fascinating animals and our human interaction with them.

    I loved this book. I learned so much and had so much fun learning it.
