by Rikki Ducornet

2015165 pages

The Deep Zoo is a record of Ducornet's reading of the world, a gathering of alchemies where the unknown has become visible through the medium of art, be they Borges's tigers and Cortazar's lions, desire, mystery, or the grotesque. Rikki Ducornet has been a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, honored twice by the Lannan Foundation, and the recipient of an Academy Award in Literature.
