Review: The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs

The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs by The New Yorker Magazine

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A beautiful book, as New Yorker would do. The introduction from [a:Malcolm Gladwell|1439|Malcolm Gladwell|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1224601838p2/1439.jpg], one of my favorite authors, decries the lack of space for dogs in the city full of dog lovers. He also has two dog stories in here, one being "Whath the Dog Saw". I am not one for fiction, which is most of what we have here, let a lone canine tales, but some stood out: A [a:John Cheever|7464|John Cheever|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1208899860p2/7464.jpg] story, the epistoltory one from [a:James Thurber|16839|James Thurber|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1183238729p2/16839.jpg], and a [a:Jeffrey Toobin|163130|Jeffrey Toobin|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1277421216p2/163130.jpg] one about Leonna Helmsley. Always great are the New Yorker cartoons which season this volume along with appropriate reproductions of dog-featuring covers from the magazine.
