Description

In Don’t Let’s Visit the Dogs Tonight, Alexandra Fuller remembers her African childhood with candor and sensitivity. Although it's a diary of an unruly life within an often inhospitable place, it's suffused with Fuller’s endearing capability to find laughter, even if there's little to enjoy. 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 span of an extraordinary family within an extraordinary time.
