Critiques

Ultimately despite all the bells and whistles this is a homosexual love story.. On the surface the novel is about a substance called prophet that when it enters a person forces them to be nostalgic to the point of bringing back items from their past (in particular old toys). The two main characters Adam and Rao are working with this substance and Rao has the ability to drain people of prophet and it seems to have no effect on him. As stated, a sexual tension grows between Adam and Rao.

This is part of the Reaktion animal series which is a favorite series of mine. Many people will probably try it because of Helen Macdonald’s fame from H is for hawk. She writes well here and her passion for the topic is obvious. All of the Reaktion books explore not just the biology of the animal in question, but also its mythology, its image in art and its intersection with the human world.
One example of that intersection in this book was that falcons had to be cleared from the British coasts during World War II because they kept picking off carrier pigeons.If this is the kind of factoid you enjoy, you’ll love this book and the other books in the series… (plus d'informations)

A great selection of essays on a wide variety of nature or nature adjacent topics. I love her writing as she usually presents the animals she encounters as they are, without putting her own expectations on them and they never fail to interest and delight. Especially enjoyed her analysis of her own attitude towards deer, which I think many people share

A lovely book, dealing with love, grief, nature and literature all at the same time. Learned about th white and his Arthurian stories, about Hawks and about dealing with loss
