Knowing Animals Reading Group - 27 May 2019 - 'The Killing Game'
Our May session is 'The Killing Game' focusing on hunting, something that is very pertinent in relation to the recent duck hunting season.
The text 'The Killing Game' by Marti Kheel is accompanied by a short story by reading group member and creative writer Laura Jean McKay called 'Territory', about pig hunters looking for love in the Northern Territory.
Thanks go to Laura for sharing this with us. As with previous sessions if you only have time for one text please focus on Kheel's The Killing Game.
