The author describes his experiences trying to communicate with animals using music, and examines the reactions of whales, dolphins, turkeys, monkeys, buffalos, seagulls, and spiders
Written in 1987. The hopefulness about humanity’s ability to give a shit is touching/fucking sad. The animal communication discussion, his approach, the inter-species connection stuff is all really beautiful and especially poignant given what’s happened in the almost 40 years since it was written.
