Ahoy There Bookshevers!
We hope this episode finds you well and sat next to fluffy companion. Get yourselves ready for an absolute treat, Bookshelvers! We’re thrilled to welcome back the incredible author and illustrator, Lili Chin, for a deep dive into her latest masterpiece, "Dogs of the World." It's been a whopping 5 years since we last got to chat with Lili so lot's to catch up on and this book is an absolute gem!
We get chatting about:
- Unpacking the myths that hold us back from seeing dogs as individuals, exploring why breed essentialism can be a disservice to our companions.
- Tackle the tough stuff, including the ethical considerations of language in dog literature and the impact of AI on art and business.
- Get lost in the details of what makes Lili's art so powerful and how her unique perspective as an artist, shapes her work.
- Delve into the nuances of landraces, village dogs, and how the concept of "breed" is more about human culture than canine biology.
We also put Lili to the test with an impromptu game and get her book recommendations... Go on... Get involved... You know you want to!
