The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019)
Enzo, who believes he has a human soul thanks in part to his TV watching, becomes a sort of savant at racing and a shrewd commentator on human preoccupations. Soon Denny meets and marries Eve, they have child, Zoe, and the novel moves in dog years from the sweet nostalgia of youth into the compromises of adulthood, where Denny’s checkered dreams hit the skids as some serious adulting takes over the plot. Racing doesn’t drive the narrative as much as it serves as a metaphor for life’s chicanes.
