Monica Murphy is a veterinarian and a writer. With Bill Wasik, editorial director of The New York Times Magazine, she wrote “Rabid: A Cultural History of the World’s Most Diabolical Virus” which was a Los Angeles Times best seller and a finalist for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. Their latest book together, “Our Kindred Creatures” makes a case for seeing the fight against animal cruelty as a crucial thread in America’s history. Readers are introduced to the activists, scientists, and moguls who helped create our modern views on animals, with our intense compassion for certain species and ignorant disregard for others.
Monica has a broadly naturalistic worldview and at least a theoretical sentiocentric moral scope.
