Rin Tin Tin was born on a battlefield in France towards the end of
WW1. He died in 1932, supposedly in the arms of Jean Harlow, the
original 'blonde bombshell', epic in death as he was in life. In
his prime, he was one of Hollywood's the biggest stars. He received
two thousand fan letters a month, had jewels, furs and a private
driver, had his paw-print set for posterity on Hollywood Boulevard
and was credited with saving Warner Brothers from bankruptcy -
twice. His owner, Lee Duncan, was so completely devoted to him that
when his wife sued for divorce she cited Rin Tin Tin as
co-respondent. Rin Tin Tin's story is a great yarn with a big heart
and, in Susan Orlean's hands, it is also very funny. But at its
core lies a profound and moving meditation on the idea of heroism:
of what it means to dream of a figure who is brave and bold and
strong, and why those ideals hold such power over our imagination.
This book is set to become an eccentric classic.
