Quinn Cummings is an Oscar-nominated actor
(The Goodbye Girl, Family)
, and a critically acclaimed author and humorist whose previous books,
Notes from the Underwire
and
The Year of Learning Dangerously
, have earned her a new generation of fans worldwide. In her third book,
PET SOUNDS
, Cummings writes about a lifetime of living with - and occasionally against - domesticated critters. Drawn from her experiences and her popular blog,
The QC Report
, Quinn introduces us to a housecat who yearns to kill everything smaller than a microwave oven; a rescue dog with a hopeless (and one-sided) love for skunks, a clump of suicidal foster-kittens, a bloodthirsty rabbit and a lizard resurrected from the dead. Hard core pet-lovers and the barely pet-tolerant will all enjoy these hilariously droll stories about our quadruped companions: the good, the bad and the flatulent. Quinn's writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and many other publications. She lives in Los Angeles with her partner and their daughter.
