Non-human perspective

May 10, 2014 19:24

As children, we often read stories about where animals act, talk, and even dress like people. Are there many (any?) adult books that do this? What else would fall under the category of "Non-human perspective"? Robots?

Brian Jacques' Redwall books, I think? I remember shelving them under adult sci-fi/fantasy at Barnes & Noble.

I'm reading Warm Bodies right now, which is from the zombie's perspective.

There is also a series called Orcs, which is from the orcs' perspective. Goodreads says it's by Stan Nicholls.

Really? I've always found them in the J section of the library.

Iirc, we had them doubled. There was a section for them in young readers, and a section in sci-fi/fantasy.

The librarian in me is twitching over that. :)

Oh right, Warm Bodies!

Lots of elves too.
