Verdadeiros animais é o livro de estréia da americana Hannah Tinti, que chega ao Brasil pelo Safra XXI, selo com edição gráfica diferenciada e proposta ousada de lançar autores jovens e talentosos, quase todos inéditos no país. Verdadeiros animais é composto de 11 contos surpreendentes. Em todos eles, a narrativa crua e direta da autora exerce impacto sobre o leitor, seja pelo mistério da trama, seja pelas características de seus personagens, pelo bizarro das situações ou pela simples constatação de que os animais, no livro, funcionam não exatamente como metáforas, mas como um reflexo distorcido das agruras e desventuras humanas.
