Alexandra Fuller Donates Copies of Her Bestselling Book "Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight"

Acclaimed author Alexandra Fuller has donated copies of her bestselling book Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood to be included in upcoming BFA shipments.

Fuller's debut novel is a memoir about a white African girl's childhood during the civil war in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and then in Malawi and Zambia. Fuller was trained to use an Uzi by age five and endured the losses of three siblings. In the book, she describes the relationships between blacks and whites during wartime and recalls Africa's smell of "black tea, cut tobacco, fresh fire, old sweat, young grass."  

Fuller was born in England and now lives with her family in Wyoming. To learn more about her other books and articles, visit her website .
