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 very 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. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can
successfully navigate all of life's ordeals.
On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all
that he and his family have been through. in the end, despite what he
sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve
the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a
racing champion with Zoë at his side.
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.(less)Hardcover, 321 pages
