The first novel from the author of Three Women.
Meet Joan.
I drove myself out of New York City where a man shot himself in front of me. He was a gluttonous man and when his blood came out it looked like the blood of a pig. That's a cruel thing to think,I know. He did it in a restaurant where I was having dinner with another man,another married man. Do you see how this is going But I wasn't always that way. I am depraved. I hope you like me.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'Few writers can match Taddeo's swagger on sentence-level. She has a knack for the unexpected,shocking phrase that feels nonchalantly tossed,like dynamite to a fire'- The Globe and Mail
'A compulsive read. Taddeo's prose glitters with all the dark wit and flashes of insight that readers and critics admired in Three Women...Like Coel's I May Destroy You,Animal is unafraid to wrestle with big questions about sexual empowerment and consent,and doesn't pretend to have found neat answers'- Guardian
'American Psycho for the #MeToo generation'- The Times
'Propulsive,fiercely confident... Joan's voice is so sharp and magnetic that the reader will follow her anywhere'- New York Times
'Joan's fury feels fitting,in a new age of righteous rage and brave honesty in female-driven and female-penned art,from Promising Young Women and I May Destroy You,to Raven Leilani's Luster'- Harper's Bazaar
'A raging,funny and fierce thriller with a protagonist whose life force,against extraordinary odds - always in the gaze and sometimes the grasp of predatory,abusive men - is a thing of wonder'- Financial Times
