Actually, I think I read it during the first real run of this blog almost a decade ago, long before I was even doing book reviews. The Art of Racing in the Rain is one I read years before I started blogging again. On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through.Ī 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.
Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn’t simply about going fast. 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.
