Lisa Taddeo: Animal
By TPLCulture
In a stunning debut novel from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon Three Women, Lisa Taddeo illustrates in Animal one woman's exhilarating transformation from prey into predator. Joan has spent a lifetime enduring the cruelties of men. But when one of them commits a shocking act of violence in front of her, she flees New York City in search of Alice, the only person alive who can help her make sense of her past. In the sweltering hills above Los Angeles, Joan unravels the horrific event she witnessed as a child—that has haunted her every waking moment—while forging the power to finally strike back.
Lisa Taddeo talks with Toronto Star Books Editor, Deb Dundas about Animal and her depiction of female rage at its rawest.
