Description:
The brilliantly funny, achingly nostalgic memoir of a life spent watching and writing, from the award-winning reviewer and bestselling author of Driving to Treblinka.
Born to a Polish Holocaust survivor father and a 1950s Kiwi tradwife too busy to police her viewing, Diana Wichtel cut her teeth on the Golden Age of television.
But in the 1960s, things fell apart. Diana's fractured family left Canada and blew in to New Zealand, just missing the Beatles, and minus a father.
Diana watched television being born again half a world away, and twenty years later walked into the smoky, clacking offices of the Listener where she became the country's foremost television critic - loved and loathed, with the hate mail in seething capital letters to prove it.
Meanwhile, television's sometimes-pale imitation - her real life - was beginning to unreel.
This is a sharply funny, wise and profound memoir of growing up and becoming a writer, of parents and children, early marriage and divorce, finding love again . . . and of the box we gathered around in our living rooms that changed the world.
'This whipcrack of a book is such good company that my eyes hurt from smiling as I read it. (Was I smiling, or was it something else?) Here we are, in our audacity, our absurdity, our banality, and our hope. Stumbling towards something now largely past. Linear TV, life, Diana Wichtel herself, none of us are spared, but most of us are forgiven. This has always been Wichtel's brilliance. Her sharp, funny empathy. (She'd be the perfect funeral guest.) She also has the critic's obsession with deliv

Adorable, Durable, and Dog-Approved!
Size: Medium, Style: Sour Pooch, Size: Medium, Style: Sour Pooch
My dog loves the Sour Pooch dog toy—so much that it’s quickly become one of his favorites! What really surprised me is how durable it is. He’s usually quick to tear toys apart, but this one has held up incredibly well, making it one of the few survivors in his toy box.
The toy is super cute, lightweight, and just an all-around fun addition to his collection. It’s been a joy watching him carry it around and play with it daily. I’d definitely purchase again and highly recommend it to other dog lovers looking for a toy that can handle a bit of rough love.

Squeaky and colorful
Size: Small, Style: Skit-Tails
Cute toy. Lots of squeaks. Probably best for a mid sized dog mouth— a chihuahua or Pomeranian might find it a little thick to manage.

“Candy” dog toy
Size: Small, Style: Mutts & Mongrels
Great toy! I like the toy because it’s durable & it has no appendages to for the dogs to chew off. It will be destroyed at some point but I won’t have to start picking up stuffing for a long time.
