My Cat Yugoslavia review – the refugee experience as surreal comic fable
Please try again later. A collection of her experiences and things she's learned from her communication with animals. It seemed a bit repetitive, stories were usually very similar in their "morals. My husband remarked that it seemed a bit strange that all the animals were so wise and spoke in such human-like form, and in similar frames.
As if the author was doing a significant amount of anthropomorphising. Each story had a section that was a quote from each animal that seemed to have a very similar style and type of communication. The author did say that animals make an effort to communicate in our human language for our benefit, so maybe that's an explanation, but for us, the style lent itself to a simplistic, anthropomorphism feeling that made the book more of a coffee-table, anecdotal type read.
I realize that animal communication is part interpretation, so that could also be why this book feels so mono-tonal. It's not just that we didn't appreciate the author's style, but unfortunately it took us both from believing in animal communication, to a bit skeptical. We much preferred "The Language of Miracles" by Amelia Kinkade which was highly informative, educational, and engaging, while giving a great deal of personal experience, without so much reliance on the whimsical, as found in this one.
One person found this helpful. This lovely book by animal communicator Patty Summers contains moving stories from animals she met while developing her skills. As she learns to trust in her heart and intuition, she realizes that all beings, furred, feathered or scaled, all have something important to contribute. A gentle guide, she encourages the reader to acknowledge and celebrate all sentient beings. While other books focus on technique see anything by Marta Williams or Amelia Kincade , this one opens a wonderful world of possibility. Pig Tales by Marie Darrieussecq A young woman in her 20s lands a job at perfume counter.
Then she starts gradually transforming into a sow.

It offers one of the most distinctive and unique transformation stories of our time and explores questions of sexuality, identity and gender with much-needed insight and superb creativity. He is expected to be brave, powerful and courageous. Instead, he is terribly scared of the world around him. To me, he is a symbol of self-hatred.
It tells the story of a wealthy and successful doctor who surgically implants human testicles and a pituitary gland into a stray dog, a mongrel he names Sharik. Sharik narrates the story until the surgery transforms him into something like a human being. All that being said, here they come: Topics Books Top 10s.

On the anniversary of its publication, however, since we are already mired in horrifying reminders of totalitarian overreach and political corruption, instead of writing about that I will suggest a few more books—written for adults—in which the animals have something to say. I know humans are animals.
