The Meaning of The Fox and the Hound: A Misunderstood Literary Masterpiece
#EarthDay #EarthDay2022
Daniel P. Mannix’s “The Fox and the Hound” has long been overshadowed in the public consciousness by the Disney animated film of the same name – but even those familiar with the novel often place undue focus on its surface-level brutal realism. Today, I’d like to explore the underlying environmentalist themes and messaging that I believe Mannix brilliantly wove throughout the entirety of his xenofiction magnum opus, and use this as a springboard for a discussion on the importance of subtlety and applicability in writing.
Special thanks to Black Hill (István Csarnogurszky) for allowing me to use music from his album, “Tales of the Night Forest,“ in this video:
and to Byron Dunbar for his work on the wonderful opening animation:
My debut novel, Winter Without End, is now available for preorder from Fenris Publishing:
A post-apocalyptic story told through the eyes of a dog, Winter Without End follows a Labrador retriever who, after being abandoned by his human family in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic, makes an uneasy alliance with a wounded wolf in order to survive.
