The Animals in that Country by Laura Jean McKay (POSTPONED 9/3/25)

This month we will be reading and discussing "The Animals in that Country" by Laura Jean McKay. (Check out the poem of the same name by Margaret Atwood - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47791/the-animals-in-that-country)

Reading online reviews about this first novel by an Australian author, I was reminded of the essay by Thomas Nagel: "What is it like to be a bat?" - so I've included another link - https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-library/Nagel_Bat.pdf

The book can be accessed electronically from Bathurst Library via the BorrowBox app.
