How to Be a Living Thing : Meditations on Intuitive Oysters, Hopeful Doves, and Being Human in the World
Mari Andrew
How to Be a Living Thing: Meditations on Intuitive Oysters, Hopeful Doves, and Being Human in the World is an essay collection by Mari Andrew.
Drawing on personal stories alongside close observation of animals from shelter cats and horses to donkeys, rats, gorillas, and orcas, Andrew explores what other creatures can teach us about resilience, grief, wonder, and self-acceptance.
Blending memoir with natural history, the book is a warm, often funny meditation on what it means to be an imperfect, connected living thing in a wider natural world.
