Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend
Author(s): Susan Orlean
At its heart, "Rin Tin Tin" is a poignant exploration of the enduring bond between humans and animals. But it is also a richly textured history of 21st-century entertainment and entrepreneurship and the changing role of dogs in the American family and society.
Product Information
"Stunning . . . A book so moving it melted the heart of at least this one dogged Lassie lover . . . Don't let the book's title fool you. Calling" Rin Tin Tin" the story of a dog is like calling "Moby-Dick" the story of a whale. Orlean surfs the tide of time, pushing off in the 1900s and landing in the now, delivering a witty synopsis of nearly a century of Rin Tin Tins and American popular culture. The result is a truly exceptional book that marries historical journalism, memoir, and the technique of character-driven, psychologically astute, finely crafted fiction: a whole far greater than the sum of its parts." --Meredith Maran, "The Boston Globe"
