Stella Chrysostomou of VOLUME Books reviews The Animals in That Country by Laura Jean McKay, published by Scribe. It’s the flu, but nothing like you have seen before. The Zooflu has hit Australia and everyone is getting pinkeye and talking to the animals. Enter our heroine — if you could possibly call her that — Jean, and her animal companion, a dingo called Sue. This is a crazy, yet deeply philosophical, novel about our relationship with animals, what we see and fail to see, and our role as only one of the species in our ecosystem.
