SWF Livestream: Markus Zusak, Three Wild Dogs and the Truth

Next date: Thursday, 22 May 2025 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Real-life Cerberus fills home with equal doses love and chaos Australian icon Markus Zusak is best known for his New York Times bestseller The Book Thief, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

In his new book, Three Wild Dogs and the Truth, Markus turns to non-fiction.

When the Zusaks decided to bring three big pound dogs into their home, they weren’t expecting the chaos that would ensue. But, as all animal lovers know, nothing brings a family together quite like our beloved pets.

Join Markus to reflect on two decades of The Book Thief and discuss his new book’s emphasis on our human need for connection, with Richard Glover.

Supported by UNSW Sydney.
