review: Editorial Reviews Review " The Grass Library is one of the most beautifully written books about animals I have ever read. I know of nothing else like it published in this or any other country. It is deep, sensitive, charming, instructive and above all, humble. I cannot imagine anyone reading it without coming away in some profound sense altered. " -- New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson "The Grass Library constitutes its own genre--a memoir of embodied humans and animals who write themselves not quite equally into the text...It is a book about writing ethically about animals, and what the process of writing reveals." -- Animal Studies Journal "By turns analytical, reflective and lyrical, The Grass Library quietly challenges the way we think about non-human beings." -- The Sydney Morning Herald About the Author David G. Brooks is an award-winning poet, novelist, short-fiction writer and essayist. Currently honorary associate professor in Australian literature at the University of Sydney, Brooks, a vegan and animal rights advocate, lives in New South Wales, Australia.
