Pack of Two

Paperback - 272 pages Gift edition (June 8, 1999) Delta


The New York Times Book Review, Susan Cheever

If Knapp were a dog, she would be chewing her tail. Instead, she's a writer, and she's written a funny, instructive and completely enjoyable book."

Entertainment Weekly (review)
"With her usual clarity and grace and at times tiring therapeutic talk the author "works through" a large, hairy list of ambivalences."


Dogs Never Lie About Love
by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

Buy through Amazon.com now!
Paperback - 274 pages 1 Pbk Ed edition (September 1998) Random House


The New York Times Book Review, Mark Derr

" Masson's dogs are literary animals created in his image. They fit within a sentimental tradition that sees dogs as childlike, loyal, compassionate, devoted, loving, guileless, pure. That is an uplifting portrait, but it is no more accurate than the view of them as biological machines. The flesh-and-bone dog is missing from both."
