Description

The novel Animal Triste is conventional in structure, though its content reflects a woman’s perspective with great sensibility. Its potential audience is wide, though it will particularly attract those with an interest in contemporary German literature. The book was published in both cloth and paper, so the design of the text had to work for both formats. The production budget did not allow for any choice of paper other than the printer’s standard house sheet.
