For Borges it is the tiger and the color red, for Cortáaacute;zar a pair of amorous lions, and for an early Egyptian scribe the monarch butterfly that metamorphosed into the Key of Life. Ducornet names these powers \u003ci\u003eThe Deep Zoo\u003c\/i\u003e. Her essays take us from the glorious bestiary of Aloys Zöouml;tl to Abu Ghraib, from the tree of life to Sade's Silling Castle, from \u003ci\u003eThe Epic of Gilgamesh\u003c\/i\u003e to virtual reality. Says Ducornet, \"To write with the irresistible ink of tigers and the uncaging of our own Deep Zoo, we need to be attentive and fearless--above all very curious--and all at the same time.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author of nine novels as well as collections of short stories, essays, and poems, Rikki Ducornet has been a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, honored twice by the Lannan Foundation, and the recipient of an Academy Award in Literature.
