A must-have."- Booklist "Do you have a dog lover in your family or circle of friends?  Do you need to get them a holiday gift?  Look no further.  The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs is a terrific book. . . . Big in dimension, quantity and quality."-Forbes.com "I usually hate anthologies. . . . But this one works triumphantly. . . . Above all it works because there is tremendous writing. Because of the amused insouciance, the self-deprecation, the gentle unfolding of a structural irony, the skip and reveal of the final sentence, the knowledge of Not Too Much that seems intrinsic to the New Yorker .

  • Just as good as you'd expect from the New Yorker

    This is a treasure chest of great writing. I started reading the New Yorker in college, which opened me up to new world viewpoints and new authors - Bruce Jay Friedman, Donald Barthelme, Isaac Bashevis Singer and so many more. I remember some of these stories from those days, some are brand new to me and some predate me in every way. ALL are the quality you'd expect from the New Yorker, with the intelligence and, variously, the whimsy, pathos, exuberance or charm that make up the variety of all pieces found there. For a dog lover, this is gold.
