GARTH STEIN
Wednesday, June 25 at 7:30 p.m.

By the time this evening rolls around, Seattle writer Garth Stein will have plumbed the nation's four corners—making the rounds for his highly touted third novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain (HarperCollins). Seattle is saved for last, the homestretch for home. "The Art of Racing in the Rain has everything: love, tragedy, redemption, danger, and—most especially—the canine narrator Enzo. This old soul of a dog has much to teach to us about being human. I loved this book." - Sara Gruen. "I savored Garth Stein's The Art of Racing in the Rain for many reasons: a dog who speaks, the thrill of competitive racing, a heart-tugging storyline, and—best of all—the fact that it is a meditation on humility and hope in the face of despair." - Wally Lamb.
