Welcome to Litsy!

Populated with dull and hateful characters, I can‘t recommend this story of a middle class man who falls for his incarcerated lover‘s German Shepherd. The snobbery of the main character and the abuse and neglect of the blameless dog are all hard to take. This is not funny nor is it a love story as far as I‘m concerned.

I started a massive reorganization of my trade paperback books and this one‘s strange size made it fit uncomfortably on the shelf so I decided to read it instead of putting it back. Gatsby thinks she‘s better looking than the dog on the cover. 😉

Last book club meeting in 2020 for #nyrbclassicsreadingsociety ❣️COVID-19 didn‘t stop us; we moved the meetings to Zoom, and we have more regulars since

4⭐️ I always love books about dogs, especially those that I don‘t end up crying because the dog died. Don‘t worry, no dogs died in this novel. Ackerley once again told a cozy and funny story about dog-human relationship; and of course, about how the dog dominates one‘s life 😆

Look at this early edition of NYRB Classics 😻 #nyrbbookclub
