Dear Jack:
Thank you for your blog. My name is Randolph. I am a Labrador retriever and the main character and narrator of A Dog About Town. It is a mystery (the start of a series) and is also quite funny (J.F. Englert is the author and he is pictured on my blog with a stand-in for Yours Truly who is for all intents and purposes fictional). It does not fall easily into a genre since it is quite literary and in a way an homage to several poets (W.H. Auden being one of my favorites). It has been hard work for this dog to get the word out to those who value writing, but people who have read it really like it, including Lisa Guidarini who had this to say:
"A mystery narrated by a Labrador retriever. Alright, sounds a little off-beat if that's all you knew about it, but imagine a character with a mix between the logic of Sherlock Holmes and the human failings of Dr. Watson. That's what we have in Randolph, the narrator of the first in this series of mysteries by J.F. Englert.
Writing from a dog's perspective (an intelligent, Dante-loving dog at that), allows for an interesting take on humans. Looking at the things we do through the eyes of another species is occasionally very funny, and Englert's very clever in that way. Randolph, not being your standard dog, sometimes disdains even the things dogs do naturally, discriminating between dogs who relieve themselves just anywhere, and dogs like himself who prefer the sanctity of sheltering bushes."
I really appreciate your website and J.F. Englert would be happy to send you a book. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Randolph
Gee, thanks!
