Animal Poetics and Literary Thinking explores and reorients our approach to animal thinking through the intersection between literary fiction, continental philosophy, and theory. This book situates animals and animality as neither a corporeal entity nor a conceptual essence, but as a scintillating "impossibility" that concurrently encourages and overturns our grasping impulse to know animals from their perspectives. This framework corresponds with the milieu of literature as poesis, which is uniquely connected to a refusal to know. By exploring the writings of J.M. Coetzee, Franz Kafka, Mary Shelly, and Kazuo Ishiguro, this volume encounters a template of animal thinking that seeks to uncover the singularity of animals through a sustained exploration of what remains radically unknowable about animality, the vestiges of which have their presence in the world of literary fiction.
