Overview

Recognized as one of the most anticipated books of 2023 by major publications such as TIME, Los Angeles Times, and Reader's Digest, Wolfish invites readers on a profound investigation of fear, gender, violence, and storytelling through the journey of wolves.

Synopsis

Beginning with a single wolf, Erica Berry delves into complex themes surrounding our relationship with fear. The narrative centers on OR-7, a wolf from northeastern Oregon known for his remarkable journey away from his pack. As Berry chronicles OR-7’s path from the Wallowa Mountains, she reflects on her own upbringing and the beliefs she inherited regarding danger, femininity, and the human experience.

The Journey Ahead

From childhood memories of her grandfather’s sheep farm to unexpected experiences abroad, Erica seeks new ways to express bravery as a woman and as part of the animal kingdom in a changing world. This exploration poses critical questions: What insights do our long-held narratives about wolves provide regarding our fears? How can society unravel our anxieties around predator and prey?

In doing so, Berry artfully connects human emotions of fear and grief through the misunderstood perspectives of wolves.
