Our Dogs, Ourselves<br />
The Story of a Singular Bond by<br />
Alexandra Horowitz<br />
We keep dogs and are kept by them. We love dogs and (we<br />
assume) we are loved by them. We buy them sweaters, toys,<br />
shoes; we are concerned with their social lives, their food, and their<br />
health. The story of humans and dogs is thousands of years old but<br />
is far from understood. In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz<br />
explores all aspects of this unique and complex interspecies pairing.<br />
As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals<br />
the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs. We<br />
celebrate their individuality but breed them for sameness. Despite<br />
our deep emotional relationships with dogs, legally they are property<br />
to be bought, sold, abandoned, or euthanized as we wish. Even the<br />
way we speak to our dogs is at once perplexing and delightful.<br />
In thirteen thoughtful and charming chapters, Our Dogs, Ourselves<br />
affirms our profound affection for this most charismatic of animals<br />
and opens our eyes to the companions at our sides as never before.<br />
Native Son<br />
The Writer’s Memoir by Witi Ihimaera<br />
The revealing sequel to the award-winning memoir Maori Boy.<br />
This is the second volume of memoir by this remarkable Maori<br />
writer and of the living myths that inspired him at the beginning of<br />
his career. Look at him, the young man on the cover. The year is<br />
1972, he is 28, his first book is about to be published, and he has<br />
every reason to kick up his heels.<br />
But behind that joyful smile, and the image of a writer footing it in<br />
the Pakeha world, there is another narrative, one that Witi has not<br />
told before. The story of a native son, struggling to find a place, a<br />
voice and an identity, and to put a secret past to rest. This sequel<br />
to his award-winning memoir picks up where Maori Boy stopped,<br />
following Witi through his triumphs and failures at school and<br />
university, to experimenting sexually, searching for love and purpose<br />
and to becoming our first Maori novelist.<br />
Ian McKellen: The Biography<br />
by Garry O’Connor<br />
The intimate and definitive biography of Ian McKellen, theatrical<br />
knight and a national treasure.<br />
Few actors achieve in their lifetime what Sir Ian McKellen has.<br />
A repertoire of vast commercial success coupled with critically<br />
acclaimed and authoritative Shakespearian roles. A man whose<br />
gargantuan personality and varied achievements inspire both<br />
admiration and affection. McKellen has been feted and admired<br />
in every country across the globe, and has been knighted by, and<br />
received the Companionship of Honour from Queen Elizabeth II. He<br />
is an icon of, and ardent campaigner in, the cause for LGBT rights.<br />
Many of us know of McKellen through his depiction of Gandalf in<br />
LORD OF THE RINGS. Garry O’Connor’s definitive biography reveals<br />
the man behind McKellen the actor. The inside story of the person<br />
himself: a constantly developing drama and a work in progress. Yet<br />
Garry O’Connor pulls no punches: some of his revelations may be<br />
controversial to his fans, even explosive, given McKellen’s constant<br />
ability to shock and surprise.<br />
