Signed by the author on the title page. A short fictional work in which Coetzee reflects on animal rights through the character of Elizabeth Costello, who would recur in his fiction. The two parts ('The Philosophers and the Animals' and 'The Poets and the Animals') were delivered as part of Princeton's Tanner Lectures on Human Values, and are followed here by reflections by Marjorie Garber, Peter Singer, Wendy Doniger and Barbara Smuts. Edited and introduced by Amy Gutmann. J.M. Coetzee is the first author to win the Booker Prize twice (in 1983 and 1999); he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003.
