Markus Zusak
Three Wild Dogs and the Truth
Wednesday 25th September 2024 - 6:30pm
JOIN US FOR AN EVENING WITH MARKUS ZUSAK LIVE ON STAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH MELINA MARCHETTA TO DISCUSS HIS NEW MEMOIR.
There’s a madman dog beside me, and the hounds of memory ahead of us. It’s love and beasts and wild mistakes, and regret, but never to change things . . .
What happens when the Zusaks open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs – Reuben, a wolf at your door with a hacksaw; Archer, blond, beautiful, deadly; and the rancorously-smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?
The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property trashing, injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed . . . not to mention the odd police visit at some ungodly hour of the morning. There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love – and the joy and recognition of family
From one of the world’s great storytellers comes a tender, motley, and exquisitely written memoir; a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty – but also the visceral truth of the natural world – straight to our doors and into our lives and change us forever.
BOOKS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND MARKUS ZUSAK WILL BE SIGNING COPIES
