Each chapter in Animal Intimacies is an exploration of the lives of a different species of animal -- the sacrifice of goats, cows and Hindu nationalism, insider and outsider monkeys, pigs and conservation, and finally bears and “the intersection of queer desires.” The layout represents Govindrajan's methodology to learn about animals by spending time with them, as well as her response to multispecies ethnography which lose sight of "smallness and singularity."
