Chaired by Kate Mildenhall. Catapulted to literary stardom with her non-fiction bestseller Three Women, acclaimed for its radical candour in discussing sex, Lisa Taddeo’s debut novel is no less bold. Concerned with the link between trauma and sexual violence, Animal tells the story of voracious obsessive anti-hero Joan as she flees a dramatically failed love affair in New York to confront unfinished business in LA. Infused with bravado, psychological acuity and sly wit, and full of one-liners and simmering emotion, Animal is a sensational novel of female revenge.
