This book surveys a broad range of contemporary texts to show how representations of human-animal relations challenge the anthropocentric nature of fiction. By looking at the relation between language and suffering in twenty-first-century fiction and drawing on a wide range of theoretical approaches, Baker suggests new opportunities for exploring the centrality of nonhuman animals in recent fiction: writing animal lives leads to new narrative structures and forms of expression. These novels destabilise assumptions about the nature of pain and vulnerability, the burden of literary inheritance, the challenge of writing the Anthropocene, and the relation between text and image. Including both well-known authors and emerging talents, from J.M. Coetzee and Karen Joy Fowler to Sarah Hall, Alexis Wright, and Max Porter, and texts from experimental fiction to work for children, Writing Animals offers an original perspective on both contemporary fiction and the field of literary animal studies.

Exploring a variety of environmental concerns and surveying a wide range of contemporary poetry, fiction, and memoir by women writers, this book argues for the centrality of individual encounter and fragmentary form in twenty-first-century literature. In accounts of both solitude and community, these texts find new ways to respond to the present in the absence of explanatory narratives. The work considered here provides new ways to consider questions of attention, care, and loss: rather than emphasising planetary change, they highlight the role of individual agency and enmeshment in a more-than-human world. Proposing a new model of 'gleaning' to encompass ideas of collection, assemblage, and relinquishment, this book moves from accounts of individual encounters to collective care, and considers questions of the archive, classification systems, performance, and storytelling. In doing so, it highlights the way fragmentary texts can be seen as a mode of resistance. Including analyses of works by both familiar and emerging writers, including Sara Baume, Ali Smith, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, Bhanu Kapil, Kathleen Jamie, and many others, this book also draws on theoretical perspectives such as ecofeminism, new materialism, posthumanism, and affect theory.
