-The Visitor by Sheri Tepper
-The Never Ending Story by Michael Ende and Ralph Manheim
-Speaker For The Dead by Orson Scott Card
Comment: I found the cannibalism sections to carry a lot of irony. The pig ate eggs for breakfast. Come on, in most cases she would be next to those eggs. I think if you're going to go all the way and say that the eating other beings is disgusting, you should just go full fledged anti-animal products from the moment they are introduced as animals. Otherwise it looks like a convenient gloss over the ethics of the matter.
Question: Do you think Tepper is able to catch a wider audience by separating out the stories in the beginning? In other words, do some readers get into Dora's story more than the animals'?
