My Gift to You: Caitrin Nicol on Elephants
May 14th, 2013




I keep gushing about The New Atlantis because it’s one of the best journals being published right now. But it’s time to up the superlatives:

The Spring 2013 issue is the finest edition of the magazine yet.

And this magisterial piece by Caitrin Nicol–“Do Elephants Have Souls”–isn’t just the best thing they’ve ever run. It goes straight into my clip file as one of the most wonderful essays I’ve ever read.

It’s 60 pages. It’s about elephants. And it’s amazing.

Print. Enjoy. And for the love of all that’s holy, just subscribe already.

    To answer the question posed by the title of the piece: Yes, as do Dolphins, Whales, Orcas, Chimps, Orangutans, and Gorillas. All have souls.
