‘Domadomadoma-Blumblumblum’ is playful, provocative, at times surreal, at other times heartbreaking. Luke Thompson is a unique and compelling guide through conversations, real and imagined, with other beings; from the ancient stories of Melampus and King Solomon, through the banishment of pests by priests in medieval rural communities to the contemporary range of ways in which we are conversing with animals today, including in Harvard laboratories, Caribbean waters, the discipline of anthrozoology, and in psychic pet detection.
