Media Reviews
"Frankly, there are going to be some who say this is the sort of exercise that gives intellectual discourse a bad name, and while I'm sympathetic to the cause, I'll have to agree with them--with the glowing exception of Smuts' essay, this is arid, didactic stuff....That doesn't make THE LIVES OF ANIMALS bad--Booker Prize-winning Coetzee has no trouble turning a phrase or crisply encapsulating an idea--but it does make it unlikely that it's going to find much of an audience beyond the converted, or those paid to write reviews."
