Writing a "Sad Animal Book"
In the lead up to the publication of my recent book, World War Zoos, the publisher's marketing staff warned that "sad animal books" are difficult to sell. In this talk, I reflect on what it means to write a "sad animal book." In the process, I lay bare some of the difficulties I faced trying to tell the story of how zoos survived World War II--and why we should care about them today.
