A gorilla, a child, a man and Heidegger cross paths one day in a zoo in Rotterdam, trying to "break through that retaining wall of time" - and other enclosures, real or imagined. Are we ready for the onslaught when the barriers break between animal and human, time and being? And who will forgive us? Louise Moyes on All Zoos Everywhere used with permission from Lisa Moore, appears in The Selected Short Fiction of Lisa Moore, published by the House of Anansi, 2012.
