Things That Are by

Amy Leach

Reviews

"No amount of viewings of Planet Earth will prepare you for Leach’s vision or her style, her tumultuous, incantatory rejoicing in the astonishing multiplicity of the Earth… Buy this book for everyone you know"

Olivia Laing

Summary

This is a book about the universe which begins with swimming salmon and ends with the starry sky. From the tiniest Earth dwellers to far-flung celestial bodies – considering everything from the similarity of gods to donkeys, to exploding stars and exploding sea cucumbers – Amy Leach rekindles our communion with the world. This stunning debut will leave you with a deeper understanding of the universe and a greater sense of the magic that surrounds us.

“To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”
