“Love and Liberation” in MayDay and Boneshaker

by Anthony Nocella

MayDay Books and Boneshaker Books both in Minneapolis, Minnesota are now carrying copies of “Love and Liberation: An Animal Liberation Front Story” that Sarat Colling and Anthony Nocella with the Institute for Critical Animal Studies (ICAS) wrote recently. Love and Liberation, published by  independent social justice press Piraeus Books, is a short fiction book about a common romantic couple in Houston, Texas that join the nonviolent radical underground Animal Liberation Front, identified by the FBI as a top domestic terrorist threat in the United States. The book is an easy fun read great for book clubs, environmental fiction college courses, social justice and peace studies courses, and as a wonderful gift. Dr. Melanie Joy, author of Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows, writes,  “‘Love and Liberation’ is a gripping tale of courage and compassion; it at once entertains and educates, inspires and informs. This short story manages to address a multitude of issues, all within a powerfully written narrative.”
