The recordings of a dog, Mr. Bones, the pointy-eared mixed breed, see the world through the sharp eyes of one who has always had to look up at it. And he is not one to hold back, pardon, to keep quiet. His wise insights into the dog life we all lead are as amusing as they are sad – for in their winking humor, any sentimentality is foreign to them. Auster's most touching and heartfelt book.
