“There was a niche sort of glamour
to it, like being a rare specimen of an endangered species—as though her myste-
rious DNA were a tiara encrusted with rare pearls, and the universities each a mas-
sive ark navigating the Great Flood of the United States, heroically fulfilling their
mission to save two of each beast.”
