Flush: A Biography (2016)
Creators: Liked 'Things are not simple but complex. If he bit Mr. Browning he bit her too. Hatred is not hatred; hatred is also love.' Virginia Woolf's delightful biography of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning's spaniel, which asks what it means to be human - and to be dog. One of 46 new books in the bestselling Little Black Classics series, to celebrate the first ever Penguin Classic in 1946. Each book gives readers a taste of the Classics' huge range and diversity, with works from around the world and across the centuries - including fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles and elephants.
Loved
LikedI've also read the book that Wolf wrote about her friend's dog from the POV of her dog. I feel like that's just her having a good time and wanting to just write a fun little book.

Lovedit was done obviously a little bit tongue and cheek but it's also very tender and beautiful and funny and it's like an old friend that one can return to and I don't think I could do without my copy of flush
