BEING A BEAST (PB)

‘He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man’ - Johnson. Charles Foster wanted to know what it was like to be a beast. So he tried it out; he lived life as a badger for six weeks, sleeping in a dirt hole and eating earthworms; he came face to face with shrimps as he lived like an otter; he spent hours curled up in a back garden in East London and rooting in bins like an urban fox. Contains animals, neuroscience, psychology, nature writing, memoir, and more.
