A top-drawer journey into the natural history of Tasmania from two Brooklyn-based nature writers neatly and wonderfully sews together natural science and travel yarn.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The quixotic quest at the heart of Carnivorous Nights is more than just endearing and engrossing, it's inspiring.
Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Beautifully observed, excitingly reported, [and] laugh-out-loud funny This book will surely become a classic of wildlife adventure and travel writing.
Marie Winn, author of Red-Tails in Love: A Wildlife Drama in Central Park
A detailed nature guide and a humorous and engaging adventure story.
Science News
Engaging, witty [with] stunning drawings of the wildlife From Mittelbach and Crewdson's descriptions, it's hard not to become enamored of the tiger and the cavalcade of human characters is just as compelling.
Plenty magazine
A stuffed tiger sends three New Yorkers to the ends of the earthwhere they encounter devils, charnel houses and eco-madness. The Devil's Isle will never be the same again. This is taxidermy's greatest tough-love story.
Tim Flannery, author of A Gap in Nature: Discovering the World's Extinct Animals
Sit down in a comfortable chair and get totally absorbed, as I did, with companions every bit as charming and more informative than Andr (as in My Dinner with).
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Dogs Never Lie About Love and When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals
Alexis Rockman and the thylacine are two of the most fascinating critters that have ever prowled the woods of Tasmania or the galleries and basketball courts of New York. Put them together, and you're off on a roaring adventure.
David Quammen, author of The Song of the Dodo
[Carnivorous Nights] was like literary and artistic crackit was so good I did not want to put it down and found myself going to bed much too late just so I could find out what happened next. It's full of suspense, wit, quirky characters, haunting paintings, and insight into nature and extinction.
E. J. McAdams,
executive director, New York City Audubon
The authors recount their adventures with an offbeat sense of humor that makes the book appealing to a wide audience. Rockman's charming illustrationsmade using organic materials he gathered on the trip add a touch of whimsy to this delightful tale.
