Synopsis
J.R. Ackerley's German shepherd Tulip was skittish, possessive, and wild, but he loved her deeply. This clear-eyed and wondering, humorous and moving book, described by Christopher Isherwood as one of the "greatest masterpieces of animal literature," is her biography, a work of faultless and respectful observation that transcends the seeming modesty of its subject. In telling the story of his beloved Tulip, Ackerley has written a book that is a profound and subtle meditation on the strangeness abiding at the heart of all relationships.

About the Author
J.R Ackerley (1896-1967) was for many years the literary editor of the BBC magazine The Listener. A respected mentor to such younger writers as Christopher Isherwood and W.H. Auden, he was also a longtime friend and literary associate of E.M. Forster. His works include three memoirs, Hindoo Holiday, My Dog Tulip, and My Father and Myself, and a novel, We Think the World of You.
Reviews
Ackerly's is one of the first titles in the New York Review of Books' new line of fiction and nonfiction paperbacks. Most pet lovers are suckers for stories about peoples' relationships with dogs and cats. Those stories, however, are usually awful. Printed in a small run in 1956, this book has developed a good reputation as a dog story that captures the way people feel about their pets without being overly mawkish.
