The latter is enthralling in its meticulousness, but it distracts and disengages the reader from Antonina. Ackerman the writer clearly has difficulty separating herself from Ackerman the naturalist. Antonina frequently disappears from the page to make room for long and enthusiastic descriptions of the zoo’s animal...
