Join writer Luke Thompson for an evening exploring the fascinating and strange world of human-animal conversation. Spanning the ancient and modern, the scientific and the strange, Thompson’s journey takes him from the stories of King Solomon and medieval dragon-slayers to extraterrestrial aliens and a poltergeist mongoose, via Harvard laboratories, floatation tanks and pet psychics. This evening Thompson will be talking about his explorations and reading from the book.
