International bestselling author Markus Zusak will be joining you for a long table lunch at Rick Stein at Bannisters to talk about his new book ‘Three Wild Dogs and the truth’. Markus Zusak is the author of six novels, including The Messenger, Bridge of Clay and The Book Thief – one of the most loved books of the twenty-first century and a New York Times bestseller for more than a decade. Now, from one of the world’s great storytellers comes a tender, motley and exquisitely written memoir; a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty – but also the visceral truth of the natural world – straight to your door and into your life, and change you forever. Markus’s first book of nonfiction details what happens when the Zusak’s open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs.
