520    "An original and probing debut work of nonfiction by a 
       brilliant new writer, rooted in her years-long quest to 
       study the cultural legacy of the wolf In this enthralling,
       kaleidoscopic exploration of wolves both real and symbolic,
       Erica Berry weaves historic and scientific findings 
       alongside criticism, journalism, and memoir to illuminate 
       the strands of our cultural constructions of predator and 
       prey, and what it means to navigate a world in which we 
       can be both. From 17th-century Europeans referring to 
       mysterious bodily sores as wolves, to contemporary 
       xenophobia about wolves crossing national borders, wolves 
       have long been made to carry our most entrenched 
       sociopolitical, environmental, and bodily fears. Intimate 
       and thought-provoking, Wolfish is a lyrical inquiry into 
       the relationship between humans and wolves, anchored in 
       the dual stories of one legendary tagged wolf, OR-7, and 
       the author. Charting OR-7's long-distance solo journey 
       after he leaves his pack in northeastern Oregon beside the
       author's own roaming trajectory away from her Oregon home,
       Wolfish wrestles with inherited narratives around fear, 
       danger, and the body. From her grandfather's sheep farm to
       a wolf sanctuary on an aristocratic English estate, Erica 
       Berry untangles binaries of predator and prey, self and 
       other, and wild and domestic, finding new expressions for 
       how to be a brave woman, human, and animal in our warming 
       world. Perfect for readers of cultural criticism, 
       environmental writing, Rebecca Solnit, H is for Hawk, or 
       anybody trying to navigate a world that is often scary. A 
       timely and necessary book for current and future 
       generations"--|cProvided by publisher.
