After that country's civil war in 1981, the Fullers moved first to Malawi, then to Zambia. Her first book, Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood, was a national bestseller, a New York Times Notable Book of 2002, and a finalist for the Guardian First Book Award. Her second book, Scribbling the Cat, was voted one of the top ten Best Non-Fiction books of 2004. It also won the 2004 Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage. Secrets of the Savanna, her portrait of life in Africa, was published in 2007, followed in 2008 by a novel-like biography, The Legend of Colton H. Bryant. Alexandra has two children and now lives in Wyoming in the United States. |
