Toby Litt

Available for over a year

In our world of dissolving distinctions, five contemporary writers imagine life as an animal of their choice and investigate the boundaries between animal and human - each with the help from different animal experts. In this edition, writer Toby Litt is inspired by the world of the brown hare. In other essays in the series, Isabel Galleymore clings to the side of a rock pool as a limpet, Belinda Zhawi imagines herself into the world of the southern African plains zebra, Ned Beauman builds dams with the Devon beaver and Sarah Kosar flies with the soprano pipistrelle bat. Producers Kate Bland and Toby Withers. Becoming Animal is a Cast Iron Radio production for BBC Radio 3. Photo credit Mauricio Molizane de Souza
