For our next Meet the Author event, we are thrilled to be presenting much-loved, critically acclaimed author, Markus Zusak, launching his exquisite memoir, Three Wild Dogs and the Truth. From one of the world’s great storytellers (The Book Thief, The Messenger and Bridge of Clay) comes a tender love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty straight to our doors and into our lives, changing us forever. Markus will be in conversation at 7pm on Monday September 23rd at the Burnside Ballroom, Greenhill Rd, Tusmore.

Three Wild Dogs and the Truth reveals what happens when the Zusak’s 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. This 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.

'For the last fifteen years, my family and I have lived a chaotic, comedic, beautiful, shocking, heartbreaking, and ultimately loving life. We’ve brought animals into our home who’ve not only impacted our everyday, but shown us who we are.' Markus Zusak
