Some lovely news: my essay Speaking Animal has been shortlisted for the Anne Brown Essay Prize! It’s about what animals have taught me about paying attention – to them, to other people, and as a writer. With a much-loved orang utan at Edinburgh Zoo and my pet rabbit among its protagonists, this essay is close to my heart. Thank you to the judges and good luck to us all.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!evc6!,f_au
