AWW22 Animal - Lisa Taddeo

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.
