And a Dog Called Fig: Solitude, Connection, the Writing Life, by Helen Humphreys

 


I haven't even started this book yet but I can tell I'm going to love it. Part of the blurb on Goodreads: "A love song to the dogs who come into our lives, and all that they bring--sorrow, mayhem, meditation, joy--this is a book about companionship and loss, creativity and the writer's craft, filled with the beauty of a steadfast canine friend and the restorative powers of nature. Just as every work of art is different, every dog is different--with distinctive needs and lessons to offer. If we let them guide us, they, like art, will show us many worlds we would otherwise miss."   My review to come....soon.

Thanks to #NetGallery and @FarrarStrausAndGiroux for the advance copy.
