The Art of Racing in the Rain

Philosophical dog navigates human life and racing.

Imagine if your dog could understand you—not just the tone of your voice or your gestures, but your hopes, fears, and dreams. "The Art of Racing in the Rain" gives a voice to such a dog, Enzo, who guides us through his family's trials and triumphs with the soulful depth only a dedicated pet could offer. If you ever wished your pet could speak, this book's tender and comical reflection on life from a dog's eye view is a warm and captivating journey you'll cherish.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through. A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life ... as only a dog could tell it.
