In this special episode (a live recording at Zibby’s Asheville Retreat!!), Zibby interviews Pulitzer Prize-finalist Tommy Tomlinson about his new book, DOGLAND, and his previous memoir, THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. First, Tommy shares insights into the connection between humans and dogs (through the lens of the Westminster Dog Show) and discusses themes of bonding and companionship. Then, he talks about his memoir, which tells the story of his life as an overweight man in America. He offers raw and vulnerable reflections on his addiction and subsequent health problems, the broader societal factors contributing to this epidemic, and how it has impacted him and the people he loves.Purchase on Bookshop:Dogland: https://bit.ly/3wh9pMRThe Elephant in the Room: https://bit.ly/3UqU2JEShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
