Berkeley Book Chats

In Human Forms: The Novel in the Age of Evolution (Princeton, 2019), Ian Duncan (English Department, UC Berkeley) shows how the novel became a major experimental instrument for managing a new set of divisions — between nature and history, individual and species, human and biological life.

Duncan is joined by Kevin Padian (Integrative Biology).
