Why do humans seek meaning to life? How do our imaginations leap into worlds so far beyond our actual reality? This book explores how we decorate our existence with countless fictions, twisting and turning to avoid acknowledging that we too are animals.

How do our imaginations leap into worlds so far beyond our actual reality? In this chilling and beautiful sequel to Straw Dogs, John Gray explores how we decorate our existence with countless fictions, twisting and turning to avoid acknowledging that we too are animals.
