Touched
With a brief interaction, Hale can learn secrets about people they'd never speak of. After failing a short lived career as a Private Investigator, the young man allowed the uncontrollable ability to turn him into a recluse, hiding away from those who would not understand his strange gift. Hale is forcefully ejected from his solitude when he hears of others who may have similar abilities, giving him hope he is not alone in the world. Coincidentally, he meets an intelligent, analytic woman with nothing special about her except her keen observation and reasoning skills. When Hale learns the two can help each other with unique challenges they are facing, he's broken out of his comfortable hermit lifestyle and given a chance to solve a pair of mysteries for himself and the woman he cares for.

The Speaking Animal
Animals regularly populate philosophical texts as a foil to illustrate what it means to be human. How should we understand this human-animal divide? Not only does it inform us of who we are, it also tells us how we should relate to the larger non-human world. The Speaking Animal interrogates the human-animal divide by looking at our linguistic differences – how the speaking human subject is constructed through its opposition to the dumb animal. Alison Suen begins with an analysis of the role of language in animal ethics, with an eye toward the voice/voiceless opposition that is at work in animal advocacy. After offering a critical analysis of the ethical and political significance of speaking for animals, the booktakes on a more constructive turn, going against the usual interpretation of language as a capacity that allows us to reason. Instead, it argues that our language capacity is also a relational capacity. Language is that which enables us to develop kinship with others – including animal others.
