RaveLiterary ReviewSplendid ... A humble, genial, scholarly, impeccably clear meditation on our own Umwelt.
Johan Eklöf, trans. Elizabeth DeNoma
RaveLiterary ReviewA compelling case against our colonial expansion into and trashing of the night ... Eklöf’s own reflections... are sensitive and intelligent, and never intrusive. He lets the evidence speak for itself.
Ed Yong
RaveThe Times Literary Supplement (UK)... immaculately researched, elegantly written, iconoclastic and compulsively readable ... makes otherness seem tantalizingly out of reach. He left me vertiginously disconcerted, for any serious attempt to imagine the perspective of a non-human leaves in ruins our cherished, self-referential presumptions about the kind of place the universe is ... that is the ethos of this extraordinary book. Ed Yong lays bare the thrilling inadequacy of our own epistemologies and makes plain the central truth that the more we know, the deeper the mystery.
