Animal, Vegetable

Roisin Dunnett's Animal, Vegetable is a subversive pamphlet of short stories, exploring metamorphosis, sexuality and the future of intimacy. Animal, Vegetable exists in a queered universe where these unusual and striking stories take place: glancing sideways at accepted social and physical realities. One character imagines an affair with an octopus, another falls in love with a meme while a third has a visceral confrontation with the inside of her own body. Dunnett adopts a vivid colour palette in her work, building contemporary fables in new forms.
