Anthropocene Audio : The Animal Soundtrack of the Contemporary Novel,
single work
criticism
(p. 151-165)'Establishing a preliminary dialogue between sound studies and animal studies, this article investigates the representation of animal sounds in the contemporary novel. Focusing particularly on Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Julia Leigh's The Hunter, and Tom McCarthy's C, it highlights the way in which these novels register and celebrate endangered sounds on the one hand and hybrid, biotechnological sounds on the other, thereby unearthing an overlooked aspect of our cultural response to species extinction and the ongoing technological mediation of the nonhuman world.'
