Summary
The Coda turns to contemporary American writer Sigrid Nunez to reflect on the legacy of modernist animals – and particularly beastly Bloomsbury – for literature of the late twentieth to early twenty-first century. It shows how Nunez’s fictional biography Mitz: The Marmoset of Bloomsbury, first published in 1998 and reissued in a new edition in 2019, explores themes that are present across Bloomsbury’s own beastly writings, from affectionate companionship to the violence of colonial captivity.
