Publisher's Note
In Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight, Alexandra Fuller remembers her African childhood with candor and sensitivity. Though it is a diary of an unruly life in an often inhospitable place, it is suffused with Fuller’s endearing ability to find laughter, even when there is little to celebrate. Fuller’s debut is unsentimental and unflinching but always captivating. In wry and sometimes hilarious prose, she stares down disaster and looks back with rage and love at the life of an extraordinary family in an extraordinary time.
Industry reviews
"[A] sensuous new memoir....The Africa of DON'T LET'S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT is an endlessly fascinating and dangerous place...To her credit, Fuller neither apologizes for her parents nor editorializes against them. Instead she gives us her own subtle political awakening as she experienced it, gradually and without open rebellion, in a society where repugnant attitudes weren't decisions but heirlooms...Where memoirs have it all over fiction is in their ability to tell us how other people actually live, and at this Fuller excels. Not even the smells of the place elude her prodigious powers of memory and description. Add in Africa's inexhaustible bounty of unforgettable images, and the result is a saga sure to mesmerize every kid who grew up hooked on DAKTARI." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - David Kipen (01/30/2001) "An illuminating, even thrillingly fresh perspective on the continents much-discussed postcolonial problems." Kirkus Reviews (10/01/2001) "A classic is born...." Publishers Weekly (10/22/2001) "At her best in sketching the physical sensations of her homeland, Fuller makes the bone-melting heat rise palpably off the page, captures the impenetrable African night's silence, convinces us of her deep-rooted connection." Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Daneet Steffens (01/26/2002) "This is the story of someone born on the 'bad side' of history, who presents her account with wit and verve and no apologies. Of the 'bad side,' however, there can be no doubt...This then is not your average white tale out of Africa, or not the kind that usually makes it into print, but this is precisely its strength." New York Times Book Review - Stephen Clingman (01/27/2002) "How does anyone survive such a childhood intact, let alone come to write about it with the precision and tenderness Fuller brings to her story?...The Africa of this beautiful book is not easy to forget. Despite, or maybe even because of, the snakes, the leopards, the malaria and the sheer craziness of its human inhabitants, often violent but pulsing with life, it seems like a fine place to grow up, at least if you are as strong, passionate, sharp and gifted as Alexandra Fuller." Chicago Tribune Books - Jill Laurie Goodman (02/24/2002)
