As in Rita Indiana's debut novel, Papi, it is a child's voice--innocent, but with a certain sarcastic edge--that holds forth on a range of topics in Nombres y animales. The narrator discusses animals, music, and television, as well as--more revealingly--family, mothers and fathers, initiation, learning, and what may exist after life.
