Furry Nation: The True Story of America's Most Misunderstood Subculture - Joe Strike

Descriere Furry Nation: The True Story of America's Most Misunderstood Subculture - Joe Strike

\n \nWinner of the 2017 Ursa Major Award for Best Non-Fiction Work \n \nFurry fandom is a recent phenomenon, but anthropomorphism is an instinct hard-wired into the human mind: the desire to see animals on an equal footing with people. It's existed since the beginning of time in prehistoric cave paintings, ancient gods, and tribal rituals. It lives on today--not just in the sports mascots and cartoon characters we see everywhere, but in stage plays, art galleries, serious literature, performance art--and among furry fans who bring their make-believe characters to life digitally, on paper, or in the carefully crafted fursuits they wear to become the animals of their imagination.\n \nIn Furry Nation, author Joe Strike shares the very human story of the people who created furry fandom, the many forms it takes--from the joyfully public to the deeply personal-- and how Furry transformed his own life.\n
