De Anima(L) - Softcover
When Jumpin' Jack, the jackrabbit mascot at Gennesaret Christian College goes missing and a note bearing an enigmatic "(L)" is left at his cage, suspicions immediately focus on the philosophy class of Professor Edward Stathakis. Citing Aristotle's treatise De Anima (On the Soul) during one of his lectures, the professor had tacked an (L) onto the end of the word anima to stimulate a Socratic dialogue among his students on the question of whether animals have souls. Just as the search for the rabbit thief gets underway, a catastrophic fire destroys the luxurious lodge of billionaire Franklin Scott, an inveterate big game hunter and a major benefactor of the college.. Edward soon realizes that his simple academic exercise has inflamed imaginations and deep-seated passions that threaten to upend his life and the lives of his students.

Review:
"Costanzo is a seasoned author; a journalist with decades of experience and a novelist with multiple books behind him, he knows how to spin a tale. His characters are clearly differentiated and well-developed, and his dialogue is crisp and believable. But his engrossing project holds together so effectively at least in part because its central philosophical and theological questions are so well-defined. Like Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, Costanzo's book is shot through with big, abstract ideas that give the gratifying mystery structure and intellectual weight." - Kirkus Reviews
"Joe Costanzo's thought-provoking novel, DE ANIMA(L) takes readers into the world of academia, where a professor's well-intentioned Socratic lecture sparks passion and controversy about animal rights, ultimately causing characters to re-examine their beliefs regarding the value of human and animal life." - Blueink Reviews
"Joe Costanzo's De Anima(L) is a sophisticated, character-driven novel - a blend of a campus mystery with a philosophy professor's belated education in living." - Foreword Clarion Reviews
