Wolfish: Wolf, Self, and the Stories We Tell About Fear by Erica Berry
3.0
emotional informative reflective slow-paced
Too many similes for my taste, as though the author's anxieties included being unclear, saying the wrong thing. Her admissions of childhood exaggeration seems to inform adulthood catastrophe imagining, which makes sense in a book examining fear, even if I found some parts naive. There are also many good insights, and some of those similes are quite apt. This is more memoir than wolf study, which is preferable for me, but ymmv. Lots to like, but it wasn't love.
