ITT we discuss animals in literature that make better/more interesting characters than humans

#1: Behemoth in "The Master and Margarita"

>> No.7362855

I like "Behind the bathtub" by Colette Audry, about her dog and herself.
Animals in Kundera's work are also often "real" characters, or at least interesting even when not characters stricto sensu
In a more fictional (and anthropomorphic) way, I liked "City" by Clifford D. Simak

Well yes, it's actually a demon who is normally in the shape of a cat, although he briefly becomes a human towards the end of the novel.
