Pack
of Two
by
Caroline Knapp
|
|
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
|
|
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."
