Wolfish: Wolf, Self, and the Stories We Tell About Fear
What is it about wolves that simultaneously draws us closer and repels? In a beautifully written tour through cultural history, science, legend, lore and memoir, Wolfish plumbs our collective fears, fascinations, obsessions, affinities and imagination. Wolf or wolfish, what we find is that “my wolf is not your wolf”.
For fans of Helen MacDonald’s H is for Hawk and Mary Roach, Erica Berry’s WOLFISH blends science, history, and cultural criticism in a years-long journey to understand our myths about wolves, and track one legendary wolf, OR-7, from the Wallowa Mountains of Oregon
