It seems paradoxical to argue that hope can be found in a post-apocalyptic climate fiction story, but the truth is that Keisman’s message is not what readers expect. New Animal is for readers of science fiction, but it is also for people wondering where hope can be found in a future that seems so ecologically unstable. When I write future it is with a smile because, as Keisman’s story showcases, it can be told mutually alongside animals and maybe any apocalypse is just another animal we must approach tenderly rather than with fear.
