From the author of the acclaimed story collection The Other Language comes a fresh collection of six colorful, richly realized stories told with inimitable humor, exactitude, and heart.Centered in Rome but transporting us into worlds as varied and alluring as they are emotionally real, Francesca Marcianos stories paint landscapes that are populatedvividly, hauntinglyby animals: from violent seagulls and starlings circling the evening sky in exhilarating formation to magical snakes and a tiny dog on the side of a deserted road. In unforgettable, cinematic frames, events unfold, especially in the lives of women. An affair ends painfully at a dinner table, an actresss past comes crashing down on her during an audition, an unhappy wife seeks respite in a historic palazzo sublet. Two starkly different couples imagine parenthood during a Greek island holiday and a young girl returns from rehab, deciding to set out anew with a traveling circus. A man in crisis draws his ex-lover deep into the New Mexico desert. With spellbinding clarity, the six masterly stories in Animal Spirit inhabit the minds and hearts of Marcianos characters. They chronicle deeply human moments of realization and recognition, indelible instants of irrevocable changeepiphanies sometimes sparked by our connection with animals and the primal power they show us.
