Animal Sanctuary is an intensely focused, ambitious work with a
wonderfully insistent sense of obsession. The novel brings together
weirdly disparate elements in the same surprising way that life does.
Returning continuously and seemingly helplessly to animals as a point of
reference, Animal Sanctuary suggests that obsession may be the only
way of pinning down the truth. This is a rich, interesting,
multidimensional book that knows fragility and maps it.--Stacy Levine,
