Barbara King 2013 How Animals Grieve (University of Chicago Press)

Call these stories anecdotes, call them ethnography. A cat wails, mourning her sister. A little Gothic. Elephants, shaking dirt off their ancestor’s bones. Close to Greek Gothic. Dolphins and monkeys, carrying their rotting infants. Gothic as all get out. All true. It’s uncanny.
