The Art of Racing in the Rain: A Novel
Garth Stein's 2008 novel is narrated by Enzo, a dog who believes he will be reincarnated as a human and who watches his owner, a Seattle race-car driver, navigate loss, custody battles, and the occasional wet track. The premise sounds like a gimmick; the execution is sincere enough that it mostly gets away with it. Popular for a reason, even if that reason makes some readers suspicious.Harper Paperbacks' edition presents the novel in a standard paperback format, the kind that appears in airports and book clubs. It is a fast, sentimental read that knows exactly what it is doing, and it is for readers who do not mind being moved by a dog who understands more about dying well than the humans around him.
