Since the age of six, when Orlean wrote and illustrated a book called \u003ci\u003eHerbert the Near-Sighted Pigeon\u003c\/i\u003e, she's been drawn to stories about how we live with animals, and how they abide by us. Now, in \u003ci\u003eOn Animals\u003c\/i\u003e, she examines animal-human relationships through the compelling tales she has written over the course of her celebrated career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese stories consider a range of creatures--the household pets we dote on, the animals we raise to end up as meat on our plates, the creatures who could eat us for dinner, the various tamed and untamed animals we share our planet with who are central to human life. In her own backyard, Orlean discovers the delights of keeping chickens. In a different backyard, in New Jersey, she meets a woman who has twenty-three pet tigers--something none of her neighbors knew about until one of the tigers escapes. In Iceland, the world's most famous whale resists the efforts to set him free; in Morocco, the world's hardest-working donkeys find respite at a special clinic. We meet a show dog and a lost dog and a pigeon who knows exactly how to get home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEqual parts delightful and profound, enriched by Orlean's stylish prose and precise research, these stories celebrate the meaningful cross-species connections that grace our collective existence.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Orlean has been a staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e since 1992.
