Fourteen years after his spellbinding book, The Spell of the Sensuous, David Abram at last is here again with a long-awaited new book on the human relationship with nature (and nature's relationship with the human), Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology (Pantheon). "As with many deeply originaland radicalbooks, this work may startle, even provoke the reader in its electric reversal of conventional thought. Worth any provocation for the profundity of its insights, this is the portrait of the artist as a young raven, with all the subtlety of his mind, for the mindedness of the body. An exercise of uncanny imagination by a writer who has a sixth sense for the intelligence of the first five." - Jay Griffiths. "Abrams shows brilliantly how this body brings us back to Earth in a series of acutely moving descriptions of its polysensory genius. An original work of primary philosophy, it is written with verve, passion, and poetry." - Edward S. Casey.
